Mango Doi (আম দই)

 **Mango Doi (Mango Yogurt)** is a popular Bengali dessert combining the tanginess of yogurt with the sweetness of mangoes. Here's a simple recipe to prepare it:


### Ingredients:

- 1 cup ripe mango puree (preferably Alphonso or any sweet variety)

- 1 cup thick yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt or homemade curd)

- 1/4 cup condensed milk (adjust according to sweetness)

- 2-3 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust based on the sweetness of the mango)

- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder (optional for flavor)

- A few saffron strands soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk (optional)

- Chopped pistachios or almonds for garnishing


### Instructions:


1. **Prepare the Mango Puree:**

   - Peel and chop the ripe mangoes.

   - Blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor. Ensure there are no lumps.


2. **Whisk the Yogurt:**

   - In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth and creamy. You can strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth for a thicker consistency, especially if using homemade curd.


3. **Combine Mango and Yogurt:**

   - Add the mango puree to the whisked yogurt and mix well.

   - Pour in the condensed milk and sugar (if needed). Adjust the amount based on the sweetness of the mango puree.

   - Whisk everything together until it is smooth and well-combined.


4. **Add Flavoring (optional):**

   - Mix in the cardamom powder and saffron-soaked milk for a more fragrant dessert. These are optional but add an aromatic touch.


5. **Chill and Serve:**

   - Pour the mango doi mixture into serving bowls or ramekins.

   - Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until it sets slightly and is well-cooled.


6. **Garnishing:**

   - Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios or almonds for a bit of crunch.


### Notes:

- You can replace condensed milk with full-fat milk and adjust the sugar accordingly.

- This dessert can be enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for up to 2-3 days.


Enjoy the creamy, sweet, and tangy flavors of Mango Doi!
