Shrikhand Recipe: The Traditional Indian Dessert that is memorable everytime

Published:

Shrikhand is a traditional Indian sweet dish that originated in the western state of Gujarat. It is a creamy and thick dessert made with strained yogurt, sugar, and aromatic spices like cardamom and saffron. Shrikhand is often served as a dessert after a meal or on special occasions like festivals and weddings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom
  • A pinch of saffron threads
  • 1 tablespoon of warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds and pistachios for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Take a cheesecloth or muslin cloth and line it over a strainer. 
  2. Pour the plain yogurt into the cloth and let it drain for at least 4-5 hours in the refrigerator until all the excess water is removed.
  3. Once the yogurt has been strained, take it out of the cloth and transfer it into a mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and mix it well until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Now add the ground cardamom to the mixture and mix it well. You can also add a pinch of saffron threads to the mixture for additional flavor and aroma.
  5. In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in warm milk for a few minutes until the milk changes its color.
  6. Add the saffron milk to the yogurt mixture and mix it well until the color is evenly distributed.
  7. Transfer the shrikhand into a serving dish and garnish it with sliced almonds and pistachios.
  8. Refrigerate the shrikhand for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Shrikhand can be served chilled and is best enjoyed as a dessert after a meal. It is also commonly served with puri (fried Indian bread) to make a dish called Poori-Shrikhand.
