MANGO SHRIKHAND | AMRAKHAND | CREAMY MANGO YOGURT DESSERT

Mango Shrikhand or Amrakhand is a traditional Gujarati – Maharashtrian recipe made using hung curd and fresh mango puree. Shrikhand is made in many flavors and it is creamy & luxurious Indian sweet dish. You can garnish the Mango Shrikhand with aromatic saffron for a pop of color and flavor.

The only thing to be taken care for making any Shrikhand is using thick yogurt. Homemade or store-bought yogurt, both works fine. The yogurt has to be tied in a clean cloth and hung, which will help in straining the whey, resulting in thick creamy yogurt also called hung yogurt.

But apart from Mango flavour, you also get other variations like Butter Scotch Shrikhand, Orange Shrikhand, Pineapple Shrikhand, Strawberry Shrikhand to name a few. So this summer, get ready with some hung curd and mango puree and make delicious, chilled Amrakhand within minutes.
