**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!
