Shrikhand

Ingredients:

  • 3 litres Full fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • 250-300 grams Sugar
  • 2 pinches Saffron
  • 2 teaspoons Milk
  • 4-5 nos. Almonds
  • 4-5 nos. Pistachios

Method :

Boil and cool the milk till warm. Set the warm milk into curds. When firmly set spread onto a thin muslin cloth and hang till all the water has drained out completely. This takes about 5-6 hours. The curds should be absolutley dry and grainy. This is the Chakka. Smoothen out the chakka with a spoon or spatula.

Into the chakka, add the sugar and beat well till it attains a creamy texture. Soak the saffron in warm milk and stir into the sugar-yoghurt mixture. Add the cardamom powder.

Serve chilled garnished with almond and pista slivers.
