Shrikhand is a traditional Indian sweet made with hung curd and flavored with saffron and cardamom.It is very popular in western Indian states specially in maharashtra.Here I am using mango to flavour the shrikhand.Mango not only adding the natural sweetness to the dish but also adding the extra silky structure in it.

Here are some health benefits of mango

  • Mangoes could help facilitate healthy digestion.mangoes contain enzymes that aid the breakdown and digestion of protein, and also fibre, which keeps the digestive tract working efficiently. Dietary fibre helps lowering risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes.
  • According to the book 'Healing Foods', mango flesh contains prebiotic dietary fibre, which helps feed good bacteria in the gut.
  • An average sized mango contains upto two-third of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C. The powerful antioxidant helps boost immunity system and prevents cold/flu.

This dish is one of those typical dishes but with a very simple and easy recipe with great flavour and taste. Egg curry is an integrated part of Indian meals.
