Prep Time: 15

Refrigeration and Straining: 8

Servings:

Line a sieve with a clean muslin or a cheese cloth.
Make sure to have a bowl at the bottom to collect the whey.
Pour in the yogurt, cover and let it drain in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
2 Cup Full Fat Yogurt

Remove the strain yogurt from the fridge.
Sieve or whisk the yogurt until smooth.
Do not discard the Whey, it can be used to make kadhi or buttermilk, or used in curries.
Now, in the whisked yogurt, add in the mango pulp.
½ Cup Mango Pulp
I like to pass the mango pulp too, using the sieve so that it stays smooth.
Now add sugar in small quantities.
½ Cup Sugar
Taste and add the remaining. Adding sugar in small quantities helps as the sweetness depends on the mango.
Lastly, add in the cardamom powder and chopped pistachio.
1 teaspoon Cardamom powder, 1 tablespoon Chopped Pistachio
Chill for atleast 1 hour before serving.
