    SHRIKHAND RECIPE - Indian sweet & spicy flavored yogurt

    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.

    PREPARING THE SHRIKHAND

    First, warm the milk, then add the saffron and stir well. After that, sift the sugar and chop the dried fruits, then pour all the ingredients into a bowl along. Stir well until consistent, then store wrapped into the fridge at least 2 hours up before serving.
