- Vitamins & Minerals: Mangoes are rich in vitamin C, A, and beta-carotene, boosting immunity and overall well-being.
Instructions:
- Strain Dahi: Place a cheesecloth or muslin cloth in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Pour the dahi into the cloth and tie the ends to hang. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to remove excess whey and thicken the dahi.
