I made this mango shrikhand for my mom on Mother’s Day and she absolutely loved it. It needs just two main ingredients, hung curd and a ripe Malika mango, and no cooking at all.
Freshly ground cardamom and a few pistachios finish it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which mango works best?
Any sweet, non fibrous mango works. I used Malika. Alphonso is lovely too.
Can I use Greek yogurt?
Yes. It is already thick, so you can skip hanging.
