Shrikhand

Vegetarian, Vegan, Dessert  · 

Shrikhand is a delicious joghurt based dessert from India. It’s very simple to make, it’s just joghurt mixed with spices. It’s great if you have guests and don’t feel like making a complicated dessert (or if you aren’t very good at making desserts). It will get your guests think you’re a great cook, saying “oh wow, that’s really delicious, would never have thought of that combination of flavour”. So overall a very efficient dish.

Shrikhand

Ingredients (4 servings)

  • 1.4 L joghurt (like greek joghurt or soy based joghurt to make it vegan)
  • 2 pinches of Safron (optional, cause that stuff is expansive)
  • 1 tbsp of Cardamom powder
  • 100g sugar
  • 4 tbsp almonds
  • 2 tbsp pistachios

Steps

  1. Chop the almonds and pistacchios into small chunks (size depends on how chunky you like it)
  2. If you’re using safron, let it soak in a tbsp of hot water or milk
  3. Save some of the chopped nuts to the side for garnish, mix everything else together using a whisk until smooth
  4. Place each portion in a ramequin or something like that, garnish with the nuts and serve
