Shrikhand/Amrakhand (Sweet Mango-Yogurt Custard)
A quick, no-cook yogurt custard flavored with mango, cardamom, and saffron.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp milk
- ⅛ tsp saffron
- 1 32-oz tub plain, full fat Greek yogurt (we recommend Chobani)
- 1 cup mango pulp
- ½ cup sugar or per taste
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- ¼ cup sliced almonds for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Warmup the milk in a microwave for 10 seconds and add the saffron to it. Let the saffron steep in the milk for at least thirty minutes.
- Empty the yogurt container in a large mixing bowl and add the mango pulp, sugar, the soaked saffron with the milk, and the cardamom powder to it. With a wire whisk, mix all the ingredients until the yogurt is smooth. Adjust the amount of sugar for desired sweetness.
- Refrigerate the amrakhand for at least thirty minutes before serving. Top the custard with the almonds. The chilled amrakhand can be served with hot puris (deep fried Indian bread) or all by itself as a custard.
