Shrikhand

Well! I am starting my first recipe with Ravi’s favorite dessert, Shrikand. As you all know he likes desserts like anything and he wants to eat dessert every day after the meal, so I have to make at least one or two for the week. He basically eats food for the dessert (Good thing is, he never puts on weight, he is as slim as he was before).

This is only a sample version. So, if you like it you can double the quantity accordingly…

I am sure you guys must be ready to make this dessert right away…

Preparation time: 4 hours, Making time: 10 mins

Ingrédients:

1. ½ Dannon Nonfat Yogurt
2. 1/4 cup Sugar
3. few strands Saffron
4. 1 tablespoon warm Milk
5. ½ spoon Cardamon powder
6. Pista and Badam (Almonds)

Process:
1. Hang the Yogurt in the muslin cloth for 3-4 hours or until the liquid drains out (same procedure as making paneer)
2. Put the Saffron strands in warm milk and let them stay until they become soft.
3. Mix Yogurt, Sugar,Milk with Saffron, and Cardamom in a bowl and using a hand blender churn the whole thing (Since this is a small quantity, I could mash it with a fork).
4. Garnish with dry fruits and keep it in the refrigerator.

Tip: Add some fruits to make Fruit Shrikand.

Serving Method:
Eat Cold as it is or with Puris

Tip: Easy Puris
Get some small flour tortillas and deep fry them in oil. Tasty and Soft puris are ready without kneading the atta.

I just finished making Shrikand and tasted. It’s Yummy!
