Ingredients
  • 2 cup hung yogurt (Greek yogurt or strained yogurt)
  • 1 cup ripe mango pulp (from 2-3 ripe mangoes)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • Saffron strands, soaked in warm milk (optional)
  • Chopped nuts for garnishing (such as almonds, pistachios)
Instructions
  1. 1
    To prepare hung yogurt, line a fine mesh sieve with a muslin cloth. Place the sieve over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the sieve, cover it with a cloth, and let it drain in the refrigerator for about 4-6 hours or until the excess moisture is removed. You can also use Greek yogurt for a quicker version.
  2. 2
    In a mixing bowl, combine the hung yogurt and mango pulp. Use a whisk or spatula to mix them together until smooth and well combined.
  3. 3
    Add powdered sugar and cardamom powder to the yogurt-mango mixture. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes creamy and uniform in texture.
  4. 4
    If using saffron strands, soak them in a tablespoon of warm milk for a few minutes. Then, add the saffron-infused milk to the yogurt mixture and gently mix.
  5. 5
    Taste the Amrakhand and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more powdered sugar.
  6. 6
    Transfer the Amrakhand to serving bowls or glasses. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving for a more refreshing experience.
  7. 7
    Garnish with chopped nuts such as almonds and pistachios.
  8. 8
    Serve the delicious Amrakhand chilled, either as a standalone dessert or as a sweet ending to your meals.
Note
  • Use fresh and ripe mangoes for the best flavor and color in your Amrakhand.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the mangoes and your personal taste.
  • Garnish with slivered nuts, saffron strands, or rose petals for an elegant presentation.
