Mango Srikhand from Hung Curd

Ingredients

• 250 g hung curd
• 100 ml mango puree
• 1 tbsp chopped mango pieces
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp mango essence
• 100 ml fresh cream
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Steps

1. If hung curd is unavailable, tie regular curd in muslin and leave a weight on it overnight. The resulting quantity will be almost half the amount of regular curd you started with.
2. Mix the mango puree and sugar into the curd thoroughly, leaving no lumps.
3. Work in the cardamom powder, essence and fresh cream, mixing very thoroughly.
4. Finish with the chopped mango pieces and serve chilled.
