Ingredients
  

  • 3 to 3.5 cups curd or yogurt made from half a liter of milk

Instructions
 

  • Hang the curd in a muslin, cheese cloth or kitchen cotton napkin for 3 to 4 hours. Place a bowl beneath for the whey to collect.

  • Pour Mango Shrikhand or Amrakhand in individual serving bowls.
  • Refrigerate for a few hours. Serve cold or serve as it is or with poori.

Notes

    • For greek yogurt, simply blend 1 to 1.25 cups greek yogurt with the prepared mango puree. Add sugar and flavorings while blending. Feel free to add your choice of flavorings like a pinch of nutmeg, or ground cinnamon or vanilla extract. 
    • Even nuts and dry fruits of your choice can be added to this shrikhand.
    • You can also use tinned mangoes or canned mango pulp.
  • Make sure to prepare the amrakhand with fresh homemade curd and ensure that the curd or yogurt is not very sour.
