Amrakhand is an Indian dessert that originated and was made in Maharashtra and Gujrat. Shrikhand when infused with flavourful mangoes makes Amrakhand.
The luscious pulp of ripe mangoes that are considered as the “king of fruits,” is blended with strained out Curd, creating a thick sour cream base. The mild tanginess of yogurt accompanies the sweetness of the mangoes, resulting in a sweet-sour blend of flavors.
Amrakhand can be made also using greek Yogurt in which whey has been strained out, so you save your time and just mix in the Mango pulp to get Amrakhand.
Amrakhand can be made using two methods, one by mixing in the freshly made mango pulp directly straight after blending it into the hung Curd, you can follow the recipe here – Quick and Easy Homemade Mango Shrikhand. But using this method you won’t get that thick Amrakhand as you get from the packaged ones.
In the second method, you need to cook the blended Mango pulp for some time till it gets thick, and then add it to the hung Curd. Here you get this thick creamy Amrakhand same as a packaged one in spite of not keeping Amrakhand in an earthen pot.
