What is Bhapa Doi?

Ingredients for Mango Bhapa Doi Recipe
-
2 cups plain curd
-
1 cup condensed milk

-
¼ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)

Step-by-Step: Mango Bhapa Doi Recipe
-
Step 1: Preparing Hung Curd
Begin with plain curd. Place it in a muslin cloth or fine strainer and let it drain for 3–4 hours in the refrigerator to remove excess whey. You should be left with thick, creamy hung curd.
-
Step 2: Preparing the Mango Pulp
Wash, peel and chop ripe mangoes. Blend with juicer mixer grinder until smooth to make fresh mango pulp. Strain if needed for a silky texture.
-
Step 3: Mixing the Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together thick yogurt, condensed milk and mango pulp. Add sugar and cardamom powder if using. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
-
Step 4: Preheating and Baking Setup
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease the baking dish.
-
Step 5: Baking Technique for a Smooth Texture
Pour the mixture into the dish. Place them in a larger tray filled halfway with water (water bath method). Bake for 25–30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the centre.
-
Step 6: Cooling and Chilling
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving.
Tips for Perfecting Baked Mango Yogurt
-
Use sweet, pulpy mangoes like Alphonso or Kesar for rich flavour and vibrant colour.
-
Make sure the curd is well-drained to avoid a watery texture. Alternatively, you can use Greek yogurt directly.
-
Blend the mixture thoroughly to prevent curdling during baking.
-
Bake in small containers for quicker cooking and single-serve presentation.
-
Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
-
Chill well before serving for the best texture and taste.
-
Don’t overbake. The centre should have a slight jiggle when done.
Serving Suggestions and Variations
-
Serve baked mango yogurt chilled, garnished with fresh mango cubes, mint leaves, or chopped nuts.
-
Add a twist by using flavoured yogurt—vanilla, saffron, or even rose—for a unique taste.
-
Enhance with seasonal fruits like lychee, strawberries, or kiwi for extra freshness.
-
Create a layered dessert by adding biscuit crumbs or granola at the bottom.
-
Use decorative jars or small glass bowls for party-ready presentation.
-
For a healthier take, opt for low-fat yogurt and skip the sugar.
-
Skip the oven and steam the mix for a no-bake mango bhapa doi alternative.
