Mango Shrikhand or ‘Amrakhand’ is a very famous traditional sweet from Gujarat and Maharashtra. It made using hung yogurt and fresh mango pulp. Served as a side dish or dessert, it tastes best as is or with fluffy puris.

Mango shrikhand is very simple sweet dish with goodness of mango, yoghurt, saffron and dry fruits. It is made in almost every home when mangoes are season.

 It is thick creamy, silky dessert garnished with slivered dry fruits and saffron. Once you put a spoonful of aam shrikhand in your mouth, you will gobble it to even a last bit licking your bowl clean asking it for more and more.

You can use any good variety of mango to make this shrikhand. Personally, I prefer to use either Alphonso or Kesar for any mango dessert or sweet. 

Although the fresh mango puree always works best. But, you can use canned mango puree as well.

My friends and readers in other part of the world can easily go for canned mango pulp. Try and get your hands on alphonso or kesar variety mango puree.

How To make Mango Shrikhand Recipe

To begin with, take a clean muslin cloth and pour all the yogurt, tie it well. Hang yoghurt on kitchen tap for 2-3 hours. Alternatively, you can place th tied yogurt in a strain above the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Now, Place an empty bowl below to collect the whey. The mass left behind in muslin cloth is known as ‘dahi chakka’.
Soak saffron in 2 tbsp of warm milk .
In a bowl, combine chakka, mango pulp, cardamom powder, sugar(as required) and saffron soaked milk. Whisk well.
Chill it for few hours.
Finally, in a serving bowl, add mango cubes, shrikhand and garnish with slivered almonds, pistachios and saffron. 
Serve Chilled as it is or with poories.

Ingredients
 

  • 500 grams Yogurt
  • A Good Pinch of Saffron
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • ½ cup Mango Pulp (Mango pulp (I have used fresh pulp of alphonso mango))
  • ½ teaspoon Cardamom Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Mango (cut in small cubes)

For Garnish

  • Slivers of Almonds and Pistachios
  • Few Saffron Strands

Instructions

  • Take a clean muslin cloth and pour all the yogurt, tie it well. Hang yoghurt on kitchen tap for 2-3 hours.
  • Place an empty bowl below to collect the whey. The mass left behind in muslin cloth is known as ‘Chakka’.
  • Soak saffron in 2 tbsp of warm milk.
  • In a bowl, combine chakka, mango pulp, cardamom powder, sugar(as required) and saffron soaked milk. Whisk well, and chill it for few hours.
  • In serving bowl, add shrikhand, mango cubes and garnish with slivered almonds, pistachios and saffron.
  • Serve Chilled as is or with poories.

Notes

Always use, thick yogurt or greek yogurt. 
Make sure that mangoes are ripe and juicy, Personally I love use Kesar variety or Alphonso variety mango only.
Mango shrikhand tastes best when chilled.
You can use canned mango puree also. try to get your hands on alphonso variety of canned mango pulp.
Avoid using blender to mix yogurt and puree. Blender has the tendency to thin down the yogurt. Always use hand whisk to ladle to mix both.
