Mango Shrikhand

This is a light and flavorful dessert, perfect for the warm summer months. Its is really easy to prepare and tastes great.



Yogurt  - 4 cups/ Greek yogurt - 3 cups
Frozen/Fresh mango pieces - 2 cups/ Mango pulp - 1 1/2 cups
Cardamom pods - 4
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Pistachios/Almonds - for garnish

Hang the yogurt in a muslin cloth for about 3 to 4 hours. This will drain all the excess liquid and the yogurt will become really thick and creamy. Alternately use the Greek yogurt, which is thick and creamy  by itself.
Puree the mango pieces with the sugar. If using the mango pulp, skip this step.
Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods, and powder them.
Whisk the yogurt, mango puree and the cardamom until it looks creamy.
Alternately, run this mixture in the blender.
Garnish with chopped nuts and a few mango pieces.
Serve chilled.
