Shrikhand is a sweet and slightly sour dessert made from strained yogurt that is native to the cuisines of the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 3 tbsp Sugar (preferably in powdered form and not crystals so it mixes well with the yogurt)

  • 1-2 tsp nuts for garnish (sliced or crushed Almonds or Pistachios)
  • 1 tbsp Sour Cream (optional)
  • Pinch of Saffron
Instructions
  1. Crush the saffron strands and soak them in 1 tbsp of warm water.
  2. In a bowl, mix the sugar and Greek yogurt and mix well with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the cardamom powder and saffron water and mix them in.
  3. Chill the Shrikhand in the fridge for at least an hour and serve garnished with the crushed almonds or pistachios.
