Time 14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 -8 saffron strands
1 quart plain yogurt
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar (more to taste)
1/4 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened if possible
1 mango, cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • In a small pan, toast the saffron over low heat, stirring, until brittle, about 2 minutes. Re move and pulverize in a mortar with a pestle or on a cutting board with the side of a large knife blade.
  • Put the yogurt in a large bowl. Put the saffron back into the pan and add the cardamom and water. Bring just to a simmer, stirring. Whisk the saffron mixture into the yogurt.
  • Put the yogurt mixture in a strainer lined with cheesecloth, a coffee filter, or a paper towel and set it over a bowl. Let drain in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Transfer the yogurt to a bowl. Add the 1/3 cup sugar, or more to taste. With an electric mixer, beat the yogurt until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into bowls and refrigerate until well chilled, or put in the freezer until very cold but not frozen, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, toast the coconut over low heat, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Serve the shrikhand topped with the mango and coconut.

Tips:

  • Use full-fat yogurt for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Hang the yogurt overnight to remove excess whey and achieve a thicker consistency.
  • Flavor the shrikhand with your favorite spices, such as cardamom, saffron, or nutmeg.
  • Add nuts, fruits, or rose petals for a more festive presentation.
  • Serve shrikhand chilled as a refreshing dessert or snack.

Conclusion:

Shrikhand is a delicious and versatile Indian dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of accompaniments. It is a great way to use up leftover yogurt and is a popular choice for special occasions. With its creamy texture and sweet, tangy flavor, shrikhand is sure to please everyone at your table.
