Ingredients
- 1 pound plain yogurt 500 g
- ½ cup mango puree homemade or canned
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 pinch saffron strands
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- 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. It is super healthy.
- Transfer the thickened yogurt to a medium mixing bowl. Add mango puree, cardamom, saffron strands, and sugar to the bowl.
- Mix the ingredients using a wire whisk until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate the mango shrikhand for a few hours. Garnish with slivered dry fruits and nuts. Serve chilled.
Notes
Use plain unflavored full-fat yogurt and not low fat or fat-free. Try using Indian yogurt brands for the best flavor.
Greek yogurt is a great alternative as it is quite thick already with very little liquid. You have to hang it for very little time.
Never use a blender to mix the yogurt with mango puree. It will make the consistency of the shrikhand very thin. Always use a wire whisk to mix everything.
