Mango shrikhand recipe | Glutenfreewhisk

 I don't think so I have ever tried this and I don't know why because is the simplest recipe ever. The most satisfying, zero efforts dessert that celebrates mango and in Maharashtra this is a regular. Like a everyday thing and I was not even aware of this marvelous wonder. Pity on my part. But on the bright side, I know this delicious and easiest Mango shrikhand recipe and I am making this for dessert regularly now throughout the mango season.

You are supposed to use thick hung curd but I am using thick Greek Yogurt here so I have skipped the hanging part of it but if you want a thicker, richer texture (not that it is less tasty in any way if you do not hang the yogurt first) you can hang the Greek yogurt as well for a few hours in a refrigerator and then use it.

Just a few simple, regular ingredients and you have the creamiest dessert. I am not using saffron strands also because I wanted to try this dessert with just cardamon and keep it super simple and make it a go-to dessert recipe option this summer. This is episode 15 in my summer recipe series and this mango shrikhand recipe is one of the simplest dessert recipes that I have ever shared.

The creaminess from yogurt, the sweetness of honey and the mangoness of mangos, (yes, I invented that word) just super. Garnishing this beauty is totally optional but I am not big on sharing beautiful looking recipes at tine so I thought I should make an effort because the recipe in itself is super easy. A little decent looking recipe won't hurt right.

Also, you can totally replace honey with powdered white sugar. But I wanted to use honey for my recipe. Honey not only elevates the sweetness of mangoes bit it also gives it a pleasing taste. Powdered white sugar to make shrikhand recipe is totally cool as well.

I recently came across this another super tempting Maharashtrian drink, Piyush that is a mix of shrikhand and lassi. I am dying to try that and share the recipe with you guys super soon. And I am adding a twist to it and am making a mango piyush recipe because why not it's mango season.

For another great summer recipes that I have already shared, here are some that you should try. Cinnamon vanilla roasted pear in red wine, this recipe is an absolute perfection. Try it and believe it then. For more summer mango recipe ideas try guilt free creamy mango ice cream or Blueberry mango smoothie with coconut. If you are savory person, then try this mango salsa recipe that is my version of the Mexican mango salsa. It is a banger because it is spicy and a party snack. Or you can try the amazing panchphoran mango chutney that is an additive mango chutney, super easy to make and celebrates Indian spices to another level.

If you are looking for small dessert serving bowl set then check these Nestasia ribbed glass set of 6 bowls, they are elegant and useful if you are a dessert lover. They are perfect for small serve desserts like this mango shrikhand recipe. For some frugal almond try Tata sampann pure California almonds, they are nice and clean almonds to use for this recipe.

Making the most of mango season and making Indian dessert recipe with mango, this shrikhand is the easiest. Now if someone asks you how to make mango shrikhand I am sure you will the first one answering and explaining because it is super easy to make shrikhand and super yummy to indulge in one.

Mango Shrikhand or Amrakhand are one and the same thing. To my surprise this dessert is also eaten with poori and chaaptis. Although, I have only eaten it as a dessert and not with roti or anything, but I am sure all those who love Amrakhand and are addicted to it enjoy it with roti or poori as well. Give it a try yourself and see how the combination is.

INGREDIENTS -

1 mango, chopped

90 gm Greek Yogurt

1 tsp green cardamom powder

Honey, as per taste

For garnish

Mango puree with honey

Chopped almonds

A pinch of green cardamom powder

METHOD - 

1. In a bowl take Greek yogurt whisk it a little and set aside.

2. Now puree the chopped mango with honey to taste. Adjust the sweetness according to your liking, it depends on how sweet your mango is. Blend it to a fine puree.

3. Now mix this sweetened mango puree with the whisked Greek yogurt. Leave some puree behind (about a few tbsp) for garnish. 

4. Add green cardamom powder to the mix. Whisk and pour in separate dessert bowl.

5. Garnish with mango puree, chopped almonds and dust a little green cardamom powder and chill a little before indulging.

Note - The original shrikhand recipe also has saffron in it. But I am choosing to keep the recipe super simple. Also, if your curd/Greek yogurt has even a little water in it then hang it first for a couple of hours in refrigerator before using it.
