Shrikhand

Shrikhand is an Indian hung yogurt dessert. This is a easy to make dish & tastes very delicious. This is a main dessert in Maharashtra & Gujarati cuisine, which is served along with Thali. 
I had this creamy dessert few times. But, when I tasted this dessert at one of my friends home I was taken back in to memories & then tried my hands on it. 

Prep time-4hrs | Serves-2people
Ingredients 
2Cups thick yogurt {curd}
2Tbs sugar 
4tbs milk
1Tsp saffron 
1Tsp cardamon powder {elachi}

Few pistachios chopped 

Directions 

- Take a cheese cloth with yogurt. Tie it tight & hang it to drip the extra water in curd.
- Leave it for at least 3hrs. Squeeze any left out water from the curd carefully.
