About this recipe

Shrikhand is a simple dessert made with hung curd (or yogurt). Hung curd is nothing but plain yogurt with all the whey drained out, making it very thick and creamy. This hung curd is then flavoured as per our likings. Here I have flavoured it with saffron.

You can also use fruit puree to make shrikhand. Aamrakhand made with mango is a very popular version. Thick and creamy shrikhand can be served with pooris or can be eaten on its own.

Shrikhand's origin can be traced back to Mahabharata and was first made by Bheem for Shri Krishna. It is a popular dessert in the western Indian states of Gujrat and Maharashtra.

Shrikhand is a healthy dessert as it has all the probiotics and good bacteria from yogurt. Try shrikhand with poori for a heavenly meal.

Once the hung curd is ready, shrikhand can be made in no time. This exotic, delicious dessert is perfect for both your celebrations and just weekday sweet cravings.
