With summer and mango season around I am sharing my recent favourite Mango Bhappa Doi recipe on the blog. Mango Bhappa Doi is nothing but a 4-ingredient mango baked yogurt which is very creamy and refreshing in taste. It is traditionally made with normal curd, but I gave it a slight twist by pairing it with mango. This is best served cold with some fresh fruits on the top. I have made it in the earthen pot, but you can substitute it with normal cake pan or any deep bottom pot which is available at your home. Mango bhappa doi has a texture that is somewhere in between a mousse and a baked cheesecake. This recipe doesn’t require any special ingredient and it is a very simple recipe to enjoy with your family in summers. Isn’t it a perfect dessert to share around where people can enjoy mango in different ways?
WHAT IS BHAPPA DOI?
Bhappa doi is a very famous dessert from west bengal which is prepared by steaming the curd and condensed milk. It is part of the elaborate Durga Puja festival that occurs once a year in this part of India, when Mother Durga is worshipped throughout ten days of the festival. It can be flavoured with various fruits and spices and is loved all around the country.
INGREDIENTS USED IN THIS MANGO BHAPPA DOI
CURD
This plays a major role in this recipe because it is responsible for fermentation. I have used normal home curd, but you can use store bought too.
Condensed milk
I have used Nestle’s milkmaid. Condensed milk adds the sweetness to this mango bhappa doi.
Mango puree
Selecting a sweet, ripe mango is crucial. The flavour of the mango will be lost if the fruit is not fully ripe and mature.
Cream
It helps in giving the body and the creamy texture to the mango bhappa doi.
THINGS TO NOTE !
- Use the hung curd or Greek yogurt for this recipe and it should not be sour for a good bhappa doi.
- Adjust the quantity of condensed milk according to the sweetness of the mangoes.
- For the best mango flavour, try to use alphonso mangoes or ripped juicy mangoes.
- When putting the earthen pot for steaming, make sure it is sealed from everywhere so that steam does not escape, otherwise your doi won’t get steamed properly
- It is served best chilled.
