Jalebi Shrikhand (Hung Yoghurt based Dessert - Maharashtrian Style)


          Shrikhand is a simple traditional Maharashtrian dessert made out of hung yoghurt. It is a very easy and a quick recipe, if you already have the hung yoghurt. The plain version is usually flavored with cardamom powder and saffron. But in this recipe, I gave a slight twist by adding some leftover jalebis for the sweetness. 

           Cardamom powder and saffron were also added for the flavour and colour.  Garnish with some broken jalebis and chopped pistachios. Serve chilled and relish as an after-meal dessert or with poori for a great comfort meal. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this yummy fusion delicacy.








  • 400 gms. yoghurt
  • 150 gms. jalebi
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
  • pinch of saffron mixed in 1 tbsp. water
  • sugar to taste (opt)
  • 1 tsp. chopped pistachios








         Pour the yoghurt in a muslin cloth and place it on a strainer. Keep a bowl underneath to collect the whey and refrigerate it overnight. The thick hung yogurt is used to make the shrikhand.

          Blend the jalebis (save few to garnish) coarsely and add to the hung yoghurt. (You may add some sugar for extra sweetness). 

         Whisk well and add the cardamom powder along with the saffron water. Combine everything well.

          Garnish with some broken jalebis and chopped pistachios. Serve it chilled.
