Shrikhand Recipe

[Cora_Bates]

Shrikhand is a creamy, yogurt-based dessert flavored with cardamom and saffron. It's traditionally made by hanging strained yogurt in a muslin cloth to remove excess whey, resulting in a thick and luxurious texture. This recipe offers a simplified version that's just as delicious!

Ingredients:

• For the Shrikhand:
  • 2 cups whole milk yogurt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Pinch of saffron threads
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
• For the Garnish (optional):
  • Additional chopped pistachios
  • Rose petals

Procedure:

1. Strain the Yogurt: In a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain the yogurt for at least 30 minutes, or until thickened. You can also use a cheesecloth for straining.
2. Whisk the Shrikhand: In a large bowl, whisk together the strained yogurt, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and cardamom until smooth and creamy.
3. Bloom the Saffron: In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in 1 tablespoon of warm water for 10 minutes. This will help release their flavor and color.
4. Stir the saffron and its soaking liquid into the shrikhand. Fold in the chopped pistachios.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the shrikhand for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
6. To serve, spoon the shrikhand into individual bowls or a serving dish. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios and rose petals, if desired. Enjoy!

Shrikhand is a refreshing and flavorful dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's a delicious way to experience the unique flavors of Indian cuisine!
