What to get ready

  • Photograph of Unsweetened yogurt Unsweetened yogurt 3.5 lb
  • Photograph of Powdered sugar Powdered sugar 8.5 oz
  • Photograph of Saffron threads Saffron threads 0.4 g
  • Photograph of Cardamom Cardamom 8
  • Photograph of Fresh milk Fresh milk ⅓ cup
  • Photograph of Pistachios Pistachios 1.4 oz

Method

  1. 1 Pour the yogurt into a soft cloth and hang it in the refrigerator for 8 hours to allow the whey to drain out.
  2. 2 The remaining portion should weigh about half of the original; if it's not dry enough, the shrikhand will be watery and very sour.
  3. 3 Steep saffron in warm milk for 10 minutes to extract its turmeric-yellow color.
  4. 4 Beat the thick yogurt with powdered sugar for 4 minutes through a sieve until smooth, then mix in the saffron milk.
  5. 5 Sprinkle with crushed cardamom and pistachios, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
