Mango Shrikhand | Amrakhand Recipe

Mango Shrikhand is a sweet dessert made with yogurt , ripe mango pulp , sugar and flavoured with cardamom powder . Mango Shrikhand tastes delicious with poori but can have it as a chilled dessert too. It is a easy to make dessert where recipe calls to hung curd for 4-5 hours to drain water completely then mix with mango puree , sugar and cardamom powder . Refrigerate for few hours, chill and amrakhand is ready to serve. Garnish with saffron strands and nuts to treat your tastebuds , eyes with lovely hues.

This is one of my favourite Mango dessert . But I don’t like the store bought Mango Shrikhand which is full of artificial colours ,flavours and also it has some powdered kind of texture . Homemade Shrikhand has silken smooth texture with real mango flavours. Try making this simple, easy dessert this mango season and fall in love with this. You can either use Homemade Curd or Store bought . Though homemade curd tastes best , I made it from Regular Amul Curds. And also amount of sugar in the recipe can be varied depending on the sweetness of mango . I have used Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango to make this delicious dessert. Though any sweet variety mango can be used.

One more similar Mango Based Dessert , which tastes Super Yum is Mango Cheese Cake , where I had poured all my Love to make this Delicious Eggless No Bake Cheesecake.
