Mango is the king of fruits.  Now king is in raw state.  Raw mangoes are quite interesting to cook.  In my previous articles I have given recipes how to incorporate this mango to your daily cooking. 

In this process here is a dessert which contains raw mangoes as it's main flavor.

Srikhand is a Maharastrian sweet dish.  It is made of strained yoghurt (curd).  In the strained yoghurt... powdered sugar,  flavors and dry fruits are added.  It is very famous in the western region of India.  There are lots of varieties are also available.  Ripe mangoes  also added to srikhand which is called Amarkhand. 

But this recipe is the my twist to the amarkhand.  It is Raw Mango Srikhand.  Aroma and Sour taste of raw mangoes mix with strained yoghurt gives an interesting recipe.
