Mango Shrikhand– A creamy and tasty mango infused hung curd which tastes just amazing when serving chilled.
Shrikhand is the most popular dessert from the Maharashtrian cuisine, and taste just amazing when served chilled. So after trying one condiment- green chili thecha, one rice dish- Vangi Bhat, this is the classic dessert to finish the regional cuisine theme.
The mangoes I used weren’t as sweet as our desi dashari or alphonso would but even though the shrikhand tasted wonderful. But anyways shrikhand is a nice and healthy way to enjoy chilled hung curd with flavors of saffron and pistachios in the hot summer days.
