SHRIKHAND RECIPE – Indian sweet & spicy flavored yogurt

10/10/2018 by Filippo Trapella 2 Comments

Shrikhand (also called Srikhand) is the traditional Indian sweet yogurt flavored with Cardamom and Saffron. The origin of Shrikhand is very old probably before the V Century B.C.: a piece of history on your table! This recipe is great al- day-long as a different brunch, a healthy snack, or a delicious after-meal!

STRAINED YOGURT

The traditional Shrikhand is made with Indian yogurt previously strained. If Indian curd is not available, the closest ingredient is strained whole Greek yogurt.

Prepare the yogurt: you want it as dense as possible, so in case the yogurt is too liquid, pour it into a stainless mesh colander over a bowl and let drip the liquid part a few hours into the fridge.

Alternatively, use extra-dense strained Greek yogurt.
