Coffee Shrikhand (Hung Yoghurt Based Dessert - Maharashtrian Style)



          Shrikhand is a traditional Maharashtrian Dessert prepared from hung yoghurt. It is a very easy, simple and a quick dessert. It is a healthy combination if you go in for low fat yoghurt and brown sugar. Generally it is flavored with saffron and cardamom.  But I gave a twist by adding some coffee powder to the end product and it was simply yummy. So go ahead and try this fusion dessert by checking out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.








  • 400 gms. yoghurt (I used low fat)
  • 4 tbsp. powdered brown sugar or to taste 
  • 3/4 tsp. coffee powder 
  • 1 tbsp. chopped nuts (pista, almonds)
  • chopped pista and pomegranate pearls to garnish








          Pour the yoghurt in a cheese cloth and place it on a strainer. keep a bowl underneath and refrigerate it for a minimum of 5-6 hours. The thick hung yoghurt is used for this recipe.

          In a bowl whisk together the hung yoghurt, sugar and the coffee powder to a smooth paste. Pass it through a sieve to make it more creamier.

          Add the chopped nuts and mix well. Serve in individual bowls, garnished with chopped pistachios, pomegranate pearls and a sprinkle of some extra coffee powder. Serve chilled.
