Instructions
 

Make Hung Curd

  • To make hung curd we need cheesecloth and a strainer or colander.
    400 g Plain yogurt
  • Cover a strainer or colander with a cheesecloth. Keep it on a bowl.
  • Transfer yogurt/dahi onto it. Gather the sides, you can tie it with a food grade thread.
  • Put some heavy container like a bowl filled with water or mortar pestle on it. Leave it for 7-8 hrs or overnight in refrigerator. Water from yogurt will collect in the bowl.

Prepare Shrikhand (Skip this step when using Greek yogurt)

  • Prepare saffron milk. In a bowl take about 2 tbsp warm milk, add 4-5 saffron strands, and keep aside.
    2 tbsp Warm Milk, 4-5 Saffron Strands
  • When ready to make, take out the curd in a bowl. This is your hung curd or chakka. Beat it nicely to smoothly.
  • Puree mango with sugar and cardamom powder/cardamoms.
    2 medium Mangoes, ¼ cup Sugar, 1 tsp Green Cardamom Powder
  • Save 2-3 pieces for garnish.
  • Add the mango puree and saffron milk in beaten yogurt and mix very lightly to smooth mix.
  • Chill in refrigerator for couple of hrs. Serve it topped with mango pieces and chopped nuts(pistachios/almonds/cashew nuts).
    Mango pieces, Chopped Nuts

Notes

You can use canned Mango Pulp instead of fresh mangoes(when  not in season)
Use Greek Yogurt instead of Homemade curd. You can use it directly without straining the water from it. 
Do not overbeat yogurt after mixing mango puree.
To make it Vegan friendly, you can use plant based yogurt and milk. But the final dish may give a strong taste of the type used (like almond, soy).
Chilli it for a couple of hrs before serving.
