Amrakhand / Aam Shrikhand / Mango Shrikhand

Well, pappu starts school tomorrow and we are a tad bit busy buying school supplies, lunch totes and fall jackets. Right now we are in search of a dinosaur face painted lunch tote which is really hard to find and which is driving us crazy. The little dino is so particular on that. With everything that is happening in our lives, I thought that it was time to celebrate life with something sweet. I had some canned kesar mango pulp on hand and this thick and luscious shrikhand is what happened.

~*What U Need*~
Hung Curd - 1/2 cup
Fresh mango - 1 / mango pulp - 1 cup
Sugar - 4 tbsp
Chiroli nuts/nuts of choice - 1 tbsp

How I Made it:
Cut the mango to slices and blend till smooth along with sugar without adding water. Hang the curd in a muslin cloth overnight and discard the whey water(..or if you are like me you can use this water to knead chapathi dough). Alternatively if you have access to greek yogurt use the same. Take the yogurt in a bowl. Whisk till smooth and light. Stir in the mango pulp till blended.
