Ingredients:

Curd – 500 grams (2.5 cups, should not be sour)

Powdered sugar – ¼ cup or as per taste

Milk or water – ½ - 2 tbsp.

Green cardamom – 2 to 4

Almonds – 4 to 6

Pistachios – 6 to 7

Saffron strands – 6 to 8

Preparation:

Take 1/2 tbsp warm milk in a small bowl along with saffron strands. Stir and keep aside for 5 to 6 minutes.

Thinly slice the almonds and pistachios.

Using a mortar pestle crush the green cardamom seeds into a fine powder.

Method:

1. Firstly take a clean muslin cloth. Put the strainer on a bowl and then place the cloth on the strainer.

2. Now pour the curd on the cloth attached to the sieve.

3. After this, gather the cloth from all sides and tie it tightly. Then gently press the curd and squeeze out all the water from the curd.  You will see the whey dripping.

4. Now hang the cloth for 2-3 hours so that the excess water drains out. If you have a hook then you can also hang the curd cloth in the fridge for 4 to 5 hours.

5. Keep a deep bowl below, so that there is some distance between the curd in the strainer and the collected whey. If there is no distance then the whey will touch the strainer as well as the curd and then there will be some whey in the curd.

6. After 4-5 hours the whey will be drained and the hung curd will be ready.

7. Now remove the cloth from the refrigerator. With the hung curd, you can now proceed to make the shrikhand.

8. Take the hung curd or chakka in a bowl. Add sugar and mix well using a whisk.

9. After that add cardamom powder, saffron milk and half amount of almonds and pistachios to the curd and mix everything really well. Now Shrikhand is ready.

10. Pour the shrikhand into a serving bowl, garnish this tempting shrikhand with some sliced almond and pistachio slivers and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

11. Serve chilled.
