Amrakhand - A must have dessert in summer, especially when the king fruit arrives.

Amrakhand is a dessert which in a summer day would not only satisfy your sweet tooth, it also would satisfy your hungry soul for sure. It is a perfect blend of sweet, sour and creaminess. It would arouse your taste buds so much that you will be forced to beg for more. And the best thing about this recipe is, it is very easy to prepare. :)




Ingredients:
  • Curd                         – 1 Kg
  • Mangoes                   – 3 
  • Sugar                        – 1 cup(powdered. Adjust it based on sweetness of the                                               mangoes)
  • Cardamom powder    – 1 tea spoon
  • Pistachios                 - 10 Pieces
  • Almond                     - 10 Pieces 
Preparation:
1. Take the curd in a muslin cloth and hang it overnight to get rid of the whey.
2. Whisk the hung curd(chakka) for 4-5 minutes until you get a smooth texture.
3. Make a puree of the mangoes.
4. Add the mango puree, powdered sugar and cardamom powder in the hung curd and mix them.
5. Blend the mixture until you get a smooth and creamy texture.
6. Freeze it for few hours.
7. Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds.

I like to have amrakhand with puris. I think this combination goes really well.
