G'day Priya! I had never heard of Mango Shrikhand until today, so thank you for allowing me to learn something new!
Cheers! Joanne
it is so easy
Yummy indeed.. Amrakhand I miss it so much…I moved to Chennai from Mumbai. Shrikhand n Amrakhand are 2 lovely dishes that i miss with Puris these days.
And 365 days blogging – U r a Maestro!! I am almost exhausted with the Full Month BLogging Challenge..wonder how u managed to do it the whole year ? Hats off to you!! Bravo.
That looks so delicious and definitely easy to make. It's going to have to be something I make. I just wonder how many pro-points it is for Weight Watchers. Something I will have to work out π
Thanks Priya for sharing an Indian delicacy with an interesting combination of mango and pistachios! Yum! Did you see the movie/video Julie and Julia based on the true life story of a woman with the same first name as Julia Childs who vowed to cooke/bake one of her recipes very day for a year! If you haven't, type Julie and Julia in a search (google or otherwise) on your computer. That came to mind when I read your post Priya. Good luck blogging every day for a year! π <3

Priya, What other fruits could you substitute? My son recently developed a mango allergy. What would you suggest?
You can substitute it with Strawberry or you can even make it without fruits. Adjust the sugar according to your taste.
Thank you, Priya!
