Shrikhand is a popular Gujarati cuisine made with thick yoghurt. This Amrakhand is a variation in it, by mixing mango pulp with shrikhand. Let us celebrate my blog birthday with Amrakhand.

INGREDIENTS:

Thick curd - 3 cups
Mango pulp - 1 1/2 cupsPowdered sugar - 1/2 cup
Saffron - few strands
Warm milk - 1 tsp.
Cardamom - 2

METHOD:

Tie & hang the curd in a clean muslin cloth till all the water drips from it.

Powder the cardamoms. Dissolve saffron in warm milk. Powder sugar.

When the water is completely dripped, the curds will become thick. Transfer it to a bowl. Add mango pulp and powdered sugar. Mix well. Add in saffron and cardamom powder . Churn well and serve chilled. You can garnish with any nuts of your choice.
