Shrikhand is a rich and creamy 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 original version.
However, I gave a healthy twist by adding some Thandai powder and it turned out simply yummy. I used a healthy combination of low fat yoghurt and jaggery. I flavored it with rose water, cardamom powder and saffron. This healthy dessert is an ideal party recipe or can be prepared for any festive occasion. It is best enjoyed chilled as an after meal dessert or with poori. Choice is yours. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this healthy summer treat.
