Shrikhand is a Gujarati sweet yogurt dish. It can be eaten by itself or as part of a meal. I like it with pooris.

Time 3h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups plain yogurt
2 large pinches saffron threads
2 tablespoons warm milk
4 cups confectioners' sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ cup chopped pistachio nuts
2 drops yellow food coloring

Steps:

  • Tie a sheet of cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the yogurt onto the cheesecloth and place in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours to drain. Press the yogurt firmly with a spoon to release any excess liquid. The remaining yogurt should be thick. Transfer the yogurt to a clean bowl.
  • Soak the saffron threads in the warm milk for 10 minutes; stir into the yogurt. Add the sugar, pistachio nuts, and cardamom and mix well. Stir the food coloring into the mixture until you get the color you like. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.

I'm not a big fan of cardamom, so I used a little less than the recipe called for. It was still delicious.

I used a different type of yogurt than the recipe called for, and it turned out fine. I think you could use any type of yogurt you like.
