Amarkhand, Mango Srikhand with Mascarpone

By Shalinidigvijay @shalinidigvijay
What is it about mangoes?
Why is everyone so partial to them?
Why do People not pay the same attention to maybe a watermelon?
So after the mousses and stuff ,sweet child needed another dessert.
Sweet not tangy.
Smooth and satisfying.
Cool and beautifully smooth to look at.
One would never guess that this is just a desi tweaked dessert.
Its essentially a srikhand ,that is nothing but hung curd and mango puree and sugar...to which I added some smooth Mascarpone Cheese.
Prepped and ready to serve within a few hours, inclusive of chilling time.Light on your palate, it is difficult to say no to these tarty lil bowls. 
For the 
Amrakhand ,Mango Srikhand with Mascarpone...
You need
Hung curd made out of 1 liter full fat milk,about 350-400 gms2 cups Mango puree I used 3 large Safeda Mangoes-you can use any variety at hand or use tinned Alphonso pulp1/2 cup sugar -according to the sweetness of the mango1 generous pinch saffron100 gms Mascarpone
Line your soup strainer with a thin muslin doubled cloth and place it over a large bowl.Plonk the yogurt into this to drain, collecting the whey. Low fat ,high protein, tangy drink is ready for you.Tie the muslin and hang from a nail and allow to drain for a couple of hours till it resembles a loose cream cheese.Bring the mascarpone out of the freezer to near room temperature. Add into the hung curd and sweeten with half the sugar.
Blend in most of the fresh mango puree and check for sweetness. In a spoon of warm milk, place the saffron and then mix it into the Amrakhand. Whisk well so that there are no lumps. Pour into a service bowl or glasses and chill.The Amrakhand firms up in the fridge and tastes best after 6 hours.As if it will last longer...Decorate with chopped mango and saffron and enjoy as a dessert or just like so..Perfect for the summer heat.
Don't drain away the whey from the yogurt. Yo can drink it as it is or season with salt and enjoy a low cal,heat beating drink.
PS Saffron is cooling to the system,apparently improves your complexion and the mango and yogurt are awesome already.Deadly combination....
So how are you chilling out this summer???
