Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Stevia powder
- 50 milliliters Fresh cream
- 4 pods Cardamom pods, powdered
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Luke warm milk
- 10 grams Pistachios, chopped
- 10 grams Almonds, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by hanging the Greek yogurt in a muslin or cheesecloth for about 6-8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator to drain excess water.
Step 2
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in the lukewarm milk for about 15 minutes to allow the color and flavor to infuse.
Step 3
Once the yogurt is well-drained, transfer it into a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the stevia powder to the yogurt and mix well using a whisk or a spatula until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Pour in the fresh cream into the yogurt mix, followed by the saffron-infused milk. Blend until the mixture is homogenous.
Step 6
Add the powdered cardamom and mix well to combine. Adjust the sweetness by adding more stevia, if desired.
Step 7
Gently fold in half of the chopped pistachios and almonds, reserving the rest for garnish.
Step 8
Transfer the shrikhand into serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to enhance.
Step 9
Garnish with the remaining chopped nuts before serving. Optionally, you can also add a few additional strands of saffron on top for garnish.
