Amrakhand recipe - Amrakhand is one of the popular Maharashtrian desserts made with hung curd, mango, sugar and the flavor is infused with cardamom powder. It is prepared during festivals and weekends, usually served with pooris. When it comes to making dessert I always prefer to make smooth and creamy amrakhand which is not only easy but also very quick to prepare. The hung curd is available in sweet shop, otherwise you can also make it at home by draining the thick yogurt through a muslin cloth. Hung curd is called chakka in Marathi. Whenever I have large quantity of yogurt in stock, I make hung curd at home. I prefer to use alphonso mango for this dessert, as it has thick and sweet pulp which is perfect for the thick, creamy amrakhand.

Maharashtrian kala masala recipe - How to make kala masala
Maharashtrian kala masala recipe - Kala masala is a traditional and very popular Maharashtrian blend of spices, which is very flavorful and takes the dish to an extra high level. This masala is very handy and useful in making sabzis, amti, dal and usals. It can also be used in non-veg dishes along with other spices. I made this kala masala without dry coconut for the longer shelf life. Sometimes, I add dry coconut along with Kala masala while making the Maharashtrian style vegetarian side dishes. If you are using dry coconut, dry roast it until light brown and crisp. The flavor remains intact if you store this masala in an airtight container in double zip lock plastic bag.
