Ingredients
- 2 cup Full Fat Plain Yogurt or Greek Yogurt
- 1.5 cup mango pulp
- 6 tablespoon powdered sugar I used powdered sugar as it mixes easily. Reduce sugar if using store bought sweetened mango pulp. or add to taste.
- 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom powder (Elaichi) optional
- 1/8 teaspoon Saffron (Kesar)
- 2 teaspoon warm milk
- 1 tablespoon pistachios crushed or sliced, to garnish (optional)
Instructions
Straining Yogurt (optional for greek yogurt)
- Place a mesh strainer in a large bowl. Line a cheesecloth over the strainer. Pour the yogurt onto the cheesecloth, gather the corners of the cloth and tie into a bundle. Now you can either hang this cheesecloth or place a heavy weight on top of it.
- We want to leave space for the water to collect in the bowl. Leave it out (3-4 hours) or leave it overnight in the refrigerator. For greek yogurt, straining 3-4 hours is enough. If using plain yogurt, strain at least overnight or upto 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Making Shrikhand
- Add saffron to warm milk and keep aside.
- Remove and empty the thickened yogurt in a large bowl. Whisk it well for 3-4 minutes to make it smooth.
- Add the mango pulp (see notes for how to make pulp from fresh mangoes), sugar, cardamom and saffron soaked in milk. Mix for 3-5 minutes until combined and smooth without any lumps.
- Chill for 1-2 hours before serving. Serve in bowls and garnish with crushed pistachios and some saffron strands.
Notes
- Homemade Mango Pulp: Get the pulp from 2 large sweet ripe mangoes, then blend in a blender to make it smooth. If the mango has fibers, then strain to get rid of any fibers.
- Store-bought mango pulp: To make this recipe easier, or if mangoes are not in season, you can use store-bought mango pulp. I prefer Kesar or Alphonso mango pulp.
- Greek Yogurt: Straining Greek Yogurt is optional. Most of the time, it is already quite thick and great to use as is to make instant shrikhand.
