Blueberry 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, check out my version of this yummy Blueberry Shrikhand, where I used some low fat yoghurt. This fruit based dessert is an ideal party recipe or can be prepared for any festive occasion.
