Shrikhand recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4–5)

4 cups curd (preferably full-fat)
1 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
½ tsp green cardamom powder
A few strands of saffron
2 tbsp warm milk (for soaking saffron)
1–2 tbsp chopped pistachios
1–2 tbsp chopped almonds
Optional: 1 tbsp charoli (chironji)
Optional flavour variations: rose water, mango pulp (for Amrakhand)

Method to prepare:

Place a muslin cloth over a strainer, and pour curd into it.
Tie tightly and hang for 5 hours or overnight to drain completely.
Once the curd becomes thick and creamy like a smooth cheese, transfer it to a bowl.
Warm 2 tablespoons of milk and add saffron strands.
Add powdered sugar to the curd and whisk well.
Give it a signature silky and fluffy texture for smoothness.
Add saffron-infused milk.
Add cardamom, chopped pistachios, almonds and charoli.
Refrigerate for 1 hour and serve chilled for perfect flavours.

As temperatures rise in March, this cool yoghurt-based dessert is refreshing and easy to digest—making it ideal for festive lunches. It pairs beautifully with puri, poli, or even as a standalone sweet treat. Its balance of tradition, taste, and comfort makes Shrikhand a timeless must-have for every Gudi Padwa celebration.
