Mango Sikarni

Mango sikarni is so delicious and amazing.  It's a Nepalese dessert that I had at Namaste, and now I am trying to make my own delicious sikarni.

So far, this is the recipe:

  • 2 lbs. plain yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom
  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 mango
  • 2.5 tbsp. sugar
  • Raisins/almonds

Dump the yogurt into some cheesecloth and hang it in your fridge for several hours, with a bowl beneath to catch all the whey (or whatever it is).  I diced the mango but I think that a puree would work better, so puree the mango.  Add to the yogurt the cardamom, cinnamon, mango, raisins and sugar.  Stir.  Sprinkle with almonds when serving.

That's it!  It's delicious and also healthy.  It is thick and creamy and yet not full of fat.  Amazing!  Now I have a reason to start making yogurt again. 

NOM NOM NOM.

Even easier: just use canned mango puree (available at Indian or Caribbean food stores).

Dang, that is really very clever. I was not pleased with the pieces of mango and had not yet convinced myself that I cared enough to puree it. The recipes I found said, "Add mango". Not so useful. Thanks!

Sometimes the puree is pre-sweetened, in which case just skip adding the extra sugar.
