this is one of the most easiest dessert recipe which can be easily made in minutes.You have to keep the yogurt ready for making it and some saffron strands and dry nuts.this is one of the most delicious and coolant recipe originated from North India in which so many variations can be done by keeping this recipe as a base.
You can add the fruit puree along with it and make the fruit shrikhand recipes with fruits like strawberry shrikhand,guava shrikhand and mango in which the mango shrikhand recipe is also called amarkhand.You have to hung the curd or yogurt in cheesecloth or in muslin cloth for about an hour or two to drain the water content completely.Here you did not need any setting agents like agar or gelatin or any other thickening substances.once you refrigerate the mixture of yogurt,it will set within an hour.as i already said this is a basic recipe which is flavored with saffron and cardamom powder.Use chopped pistachios which provide a color to the recipe here and there and makes it more appealing and delectable one.
