Amrakhand




Ingredients:

         2 cups plain yogurt (use Greek style yogurt if available)
         2-3 fresh mangoes, to make about 1 cup mango pulp
 (you can use canned mango pulp too)
         Sugar to taste
        1-2 tbsp chiroli nuts for garnish (optional)
        Few fresh slices of mangoes for garnish

Method:

If using fresh mango pulp, slice the flesh of the ripe mangoes or else used sweet mangoes for this recipe. Drop them in a blender. Process  until smooth. You can strain the pulp to remove the strings if any..... Make sure the yogurt you are using is thick. if not, you can tie the yogurt in a clean cotton cloth (or cheesecloth) and hang it up for an hour or so to drain off all the whey. Or if you can get your hands on Greek style Yogurt, go for it. I think its perfect for this dessert. Take the yogurt in a bowl Whisk the yogurt and beat it well. Add sugar little by little and continue to whisk. When the yogurt gets light in texture, stir in the mango pulp. Stir it until blended and then chill it. Serve cold garnished it with chiroli nuts and some sliced mangoes.
