Refreshing Vegan Mango Shrikhand To Delight Your Senses This Weekend
Mango Shrikhand is a very refreshing dessert (you can call it a thick smoothie) which is one of the easiest and quickest (if you have strained yogurt handy) Indian dishes you can prepare even on short notice.
Garnished with saffron strands, shredded almonds, pistachios, and cashew nuts, this dessert is perfect for dinners when you are in the mood for some light delightful flavors that awaken your senses in the truest sense.
Mango Shrikhand has a thick consistency and falls rather on the creamy side. You can use unrefined brown sugar or natural sugar supplements if you’re calorie-conscious.
Do not forget the saffron part, it appears skip-able while in reality, it is a flavoring agent that adds a distinct color and aroma to the shrikhand.
Plus saffron offers some amazing health benefits like relief from flatulence, heartburn, PMS, etc. It is also used as an aphrodisiac *wink* *wink*. Let’s get to the recipe part now.
