mango shrikhand recipe | amrakhand recipe | aam shrikhand with detailed photo and video recipe. a traditional maharashtrian recipe or gujarati recipe, prepared from mango pulp and hung curd / dahi ka chakka or greek yogurt. it is typically served as dessert after meal during summer but also popularly served with poori and chapatis.
i have already shared the authentic and traditional simple kesar pista shrikhand recipe and just that it is mango season i thought of sharing amrakhand. while i am not huge fan of this recipe, but my husband is a crazy fan of mango recipes and aam shrikhand. he had requested this recipe long back but i did not want to prepare this from store bought mango pulp or frozen mangoes. i had kept an eye on my local vegetable shop for this years fresh mangoes and it took a while to arrive this year. as it was the first stock of this year the prices were premium. but the craving of my husband for mango shrikhand was strong and i had buy it and hence this post.
while the recipe do not have much complicated steps, yet i would like to share some tips and variations to mango shrikhand recipe. firstly, the hung curd should be left overnight so that the water content drains off. the process may take 8-10 hours, hence it is recommended to keep it fridge otherwise it may turn sour. secondly, i have prepared the dahi ka chakka or hung curd from homemade dahi. however if you do not prepare curd at home, i would heavily recommend to use greek yogurt to prepare chakka. lastly, i have used fresh ripe mangoes pulp in this recipe. alternatively you can also use store bought mango pulp too for this recipe.
finally i would recommend you my other dessert recipes collection from my blog. this mainly includes, gulab jamun, rasgulla, kala jamun, carrot halwa, rabdi, cham cham, rasmalai, bread gulab jamun and sabudana kheer recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection from my blog like,
