'Aamrakhand' means
Amra(mango)+ Shrikhand. Shikhand with mango puree into it is called
aamrakand. In most of the Maharashtrian
family this sweet dish is prepared during Mango season. You can have this with
Puri, it tastes awesome. Instead of Aamras-Puri or Shrikhand-Puri, we can
combine both. We have one function at my Aatya's place so we (Usha Aunty,
Shashi aaka, swati & myself) prepared almost 7-8 Kg. Aamrakhand. Oh it was
really huge. Now for coming 'AashadhiEkadashi' you must prepare this sweet.
Ingredients
Hung Curd(Chakka) -
250 Gms.
Powder Sugar - 200
Gms.
Mango puree- 1 cup
Warm milk -4-5
tablespoon
Nutmeg powder -
1/8th teaspoon
Chopped almond and
charoli for garnishing (Optional).
Procedure
Most
of the cities we don't get hung curd, so the simple way to prepare hung curd
is- Take full cream milk's
curd in thin cotton cloth. Squeeze it with hand and remove the water. Tie it
tightly and hang it over night so all water in curd will drain out.
Now
take the hung curd (in Marathi we call it as Chakka) in a big bowl. Add
Powdered sugar and mix it neatly. Now add warm milk and beat it for 2 minutes.
Then add mango puree mix it very nicely. You can adjust quantity of sugar
according to the sweetness of mango. Add nutmeg powder and mix it. If you want you can add chopped nuts or
Charoli. But I usually like it without any nuts. Chill it in fridge and serve
it with hot Puris.
