Amrakhand means Mango flavored Shrikhand.

Let’s begin with the recipe.

  4. Blend the pulp and powdered sugar to a fine puree into a mixer grinder.

  7. Take overnight hung curd.
  8. Pass or sieve it through a sieve for a creamy and smooth texture. Transfer it to a bowl.

Note:

Sometimes we get Amrakhand with a bit of runny consistency. This happens because of the moisture content inside mango and sugar.

When we add mango puree along with sugar to the hung curd for making Amrakhand. By doing so, mango and sugar releases the water as both ingredients have high moisture content and it makes the consistency of Amrakhand a bit runny which we don’t want.

To make it the right consistency, we can first cook the mango puree and sugar together in a pan on medium flame until the mixture reduces half or less than half. Then add the cooked or reduced mixture to the hung curd. By doing so the moisture of mangoes will evaporate and the sugar will get cooked. But this step of cooking mangoes with sugar is completely optional.
