Notes
- I added powdered sugar candy (Rock sugar candy/ Kalkandu). You can add fine grain or powdered sugar too.
- Adjust the sugar quantity according to the sweetness of the mango and your sweet preference.
- Nuts like almonds and pistachios can be used. The chopped nuts can be mixed with the shrikhand too.
Serve this rich and flavorful dessert always cold. It was like eating sweet lassi in icecream form for me
, coz of the cardamom, rose essence may be.
