Shrikhand recipe

4:40:00 PM


Ingredients:

  • Curd/ Yogurt (non-flavored) – 2 pounds
  • Sugar – Depends on the quantity of strained curd you get. About 75% weight of curd you take
  • Nutmeg powder
  • Saffron
  • Cardamom powder
  • Chopped almonds, pistachios

Preparation time:  Around a day
Method:

·         Take a clean cloth, and put the yogurt in it. Tie it around to drain overnight, so that the water from the yogurt seeps away, and you get a lump of thick yogurt. Leave this hanging for about 12 hours.
·         Measure the amount of yogurt in a cups that you get after 12 hours. Take about 60%-80% of the same quantity of sugar and mix the two together. (for example, if you have 3 cups full of hanged yogurt (chakka), then measure about 2-2.5 cups of sugar in the same cups)
·         Mix the two very well, so that you get a smooth creamy texture on the Shrikhand. You can use Puran Yantra for the same, to make it really creamy. Add nutmeg powder and cardamom powder to it.
·         Garnish with saffron, almonds and pistachios.
·         Cool in refrigerator, serve cold.
