Mango Piyush is an authentic Maharastrian cold drink, made using Shrikand | Amarkhand, thick buttermilk and milk with a dash of nutmeg, saffron and cardamom, as main ingredients. Piyush is generally a very thick and creamy drink. Even Piyush is a popular drink in Gujarati cuisine too. Last year when my friend’s in laws family from Mumbai, visited here, her sister in law was telling me about Sabudana Thalipeeth and Mango piyush recipe. I was too fascinated by the recipe and wanted to try this during the mango season. Genrally Piyush is made using Shrikand, but during mango season we can make it using Mango shrikand. I used store bought Mango shrikand recipe, you can make your own Shrikand at home. Generally Piyush is made during fasting, since it is creamy, it will be quite a filling drink.
