Watermelon Rind Shrikhand

 

          Shrikhand is a traditional Maharashtrian Dessert prepared with hung yoghurt. It is a very easy dessert that can be made in no time if the hung yoghurt is ready. It is usually flavored with saffron and cardamom powder for the plain version. However, you can make it a bit healthy and appetizing by adding any fruit of your choice.

          So, I tried with watermelon rind and it turned out very yummy. I used a healthy combination of low fat yoghurt and flavored it with kewra water, cardamom powder and saffron. This fruit based dessert is an ideal party recipe or can be prepared for any festive occasion. It will be a sure hit. Garnish with chopped pista and few chopped watermelon pieces and enjoy it chilled. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this fusion treat.






  • 2 cups yoghurt
  • 2 cups watermelon rind, chopped
  • 1 tsp. ghee
  • 2-3 tbsp. powdered sugar or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp. kewra water
  • pinch of saffron 
  • few chopped watermelon, chopped pistachios to garnish







           Pour the yoghurt in a cheese cloth and place on a strainer. Keep this on a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. The thick hung yoghurt is used for the recipe.  

           Steam the watermelon rind till soft. Set aside to cool before blending into a smooth paste.

           Heat ghee in a pan and simmer the paste till all the moisture has evaporated. Keep aside to cool. 

          In a bowl, take the hung yoghurt, reduced watermelon rind, sugar, cardamom powder and kewra water. Whisk well till smooth. Add the saffron and give it a stir. Refrigerate till serving time.

          Spoon into individual bowls. Garnish with chopped pistachios, chopped watermelon and dry rose petals. Enjoy!!!
