Ingredients
- Plain Yogurt (Dahi, Curd) – Use whole milk (full-fat milk) plain yogurt for a creamy, rich matho. You can also use Greek yogurt to save some time.
- Milk – You will need a little milk to soak the saffron. If possible, use whole milk (full-fat milk).
- Saffron is optional, but it pairs very well with mangoes, adding a rich flavor to the dessert.
- Powdered Sugar – Do not use confectioner’s sugar (also called powdered sugar). Instead, grind the granulated sugar in a grinder, then use it in the recipe. The confectioner’s sugar contains added cornstarch, which can alter the dish’s texture.
- Mango Pulp – Make Mango Pulp at home with my easy recipe, or use canned pulp.
- Cardamom Powder – It is highly recommended to flavor the mango matho.
- Nuts – Add slivered nuts for a nice crunch. You can use almonds, cashew nuts, and pistachios.

Mango Matho Recipe
Mango Matho is a Gujurati dessert made using thick yogurt and mangoes. Serve it on its own or with puris for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound full-fat plain yogurt (dahi, curd) (500 g, or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (full-fat milk)
- 10-12 saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons powdered granulated white sugar (do not use confectioner's sugar which is also called powdered sugar sometimes)
- 1 cup mango pulp (fresh or canned)
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ cup slivered nuts (I used a mix of almonds, cashew nuts and pistachios)
Instructions
Hang The Yogurt
- Keep a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and line the strainer with a muslin cloth.
- Transfer yogurt to the strainer and keep the bowl in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours. If using Greek yogurt, then you can reduce the time to 6-7 hours.
- The liquid will drip from the yogurt making it thick and creamy. The thick yogurt that is collected now is called CHAKKA.
- Discard the liquid or drink it.
Soak The Saffron
- Stir together milk and saffron strands in a small bowl and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
Make The Matho
- Transfer the thickened yogurt to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add powdered sugar, mango pulp, cardamom powder, and saffron strands soaked in milk to the bowl.
- Mix the ingredients using a wire whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate the mango matho for a few hours. Garnish with slivered nuts. Serve chilled.
Notes
You can mix the ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment too.
