As I have mentioned in my Mango shrikhand recipe, my first tasting experience was bad.
It turned out really rich and yummy and the best part was my kid Aj liked it to my surprise 🙂.
You can use Homemade curd or Greek yogurt too.
Shrikhand is an Indian (Maharashtrian) dessert made with hung curd. Let's see how to prepare this with step by step photos and a quick video.
Step by step
- In a thin white cloth hang the curd firstly for 2- 4 hours so that excess water drains. Secondly, in a mixing bowl, take ½ cup hung curd, add 2 drops rose essence, cardamom powder, 3 tablespoon powdered sugar candy or sugar. Mix well furthermore with a whisk until smooth.
- Transfer to the serving bowls. Garnish with soaked, peeled, finely chopped pistachios finally. Cover it with cling wrap and keep refrigerated until serving!
Serve this rich and flavorful dessert always cold. It was like eating sweet lassi in ice cream form for me , coz of the cardamom, rose essence may be.
