Make a very famous recipe of Maharashtra with curd, even ice cream will look pale in front of it. Shrikhand recipe – YouTube

Method of Preparation:

Strain the curd:

Place the curd on a clean cloth or mat and hang it for 4-5 hours so that the excess water drains out and the curd thickens.

Mix:

Pour the thick curd into a large vessel. Add sugar and cardamom powder to it. Mix well so that the sugar dissolves completely.

Decoration:

Now add chopped pistachios and almonds. If you are using food colour, add it too and mix well.

Cream (optional):

If you want to add cream, then add it too. This will make Shrikhand even more creamy.

Put in the fridge:

Put the prepared Shrikhand in a vessel and keep it in the fridge so that it cools down.

Serve:

Once cooled, garnish it with chopped nuts and serve in a serving bowl.

Tips:

You can also add other flavours like orange juice or pineapple chunks.

Shrikhand can be served with Puri, Paratha or Halwa.
