Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Milk Warm
- 3 cups Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Cardamom powder
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree
Instructions
- Start with hanging 3 cup of yogurt in a muslin cloth for 2-3 mins to form a hung curd (chakka) and mixed with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar (you can adjust as per your taste), 1/2 cup of strawberry puree (You can even mash the strawberries and add to the yogurt mixture) and a tsp of cardamom powder.
- Whip everything well using an electric beater until it's smooth. Check the taste and add sugar if required.
- And your Strawberry Shrikhand is ready.
- It is best served when its chilled with a smattering of nuts and chopped strawberries.
Notes
- Try to use homemade fresh curd to make chakka. Store bought is usually sour and then your Shrikhand will not turn out good.
- After pouring the curd in muslin cloth, keep the bowl with the strainer in the refrigerator and let it hang inside the refrigerator. It will prevent the curd from turning sour.
- Don't hurry up the process of removing the liquid from the curd. A good Shrikhand is thick and creamy and not watery.
- Only add powdered sugar to the shrikhand. If you add normal sugar, it will not dissolve properly and will come in your mouth. To powder the sugar, add it in a blender and blend until smooth.
