Hi all,

Please let me know the recipe of making srikhand in US.

Thanks,

Very easy to make Shrikhand.

You need yoghurt, powdered sugar, saffron, a tablespoon of warm milk and chopped nuts.

I generally get Mountain High Brand Yogurt as it is quite thick and creamy. Pavel Brand yogurt has a lot of water in it so you get less quantity.

First you wrap the yogurt in a clean kitchen cloth and let the whey drain off till the yogurt becomes thick, probably a few hours. Soak the saffron in the milk in the meantime.

Transfer the thickened yogurt to a dish and add powdered sugar to taste. Then add the saffron and milk and don't worry if this thins out the yogurt a bit. You can either add the chopped nuts to the shrikhand and mix or just use them for decoration.

If concerned about sugar, you can use splenda instead to sweeten!

Hi ,

Other member has given you good advice, but if you want to make from scratch then this is what i do and you get more for your money and also you could freeze it in small quantity.

1. Buy whole milk 2 gallons
2. give one boil
3. wait till milk get very Luke warm
4. put yogurt in - half of mountain tub
5. turn on the oven for maybe less then 5 min and turn it off make sure now oven is warm
6. put the yogurt and milk mixture in steel pan and make sure you put the lid on topand put it in oven.
7. it take yogurt to make i would say about 20 to 24 hours
8. next day put yogurt in cheese cloth and hang it from something so that way you will drain all waters, when you feel after 6-8 hrs you will feel yogurt hard and remove it from
9. now its almost srikand add sugar , saffron , any type of nuts and of course powder cardamon.

10 ENJOY!!!!!

Hi Vaidehi,

Try and make the curd at home, and as soon as it sets, leave in the fridge, so that it does not get sour, and try and use it the same day to amke shrikhand. The longer u leave set curd outside the fridge the faster it sours. Another option is try and get curd from walmart that is not sour. Like I buy Anderson and Erisson curd when I want to make Punjabi/Gujarathi kadhi, coz it has to be sour. But to make shrikhand or to use for other purposes I buy Danone, which is usually not very sour. And do not use the recipe in which u have to use sour cream to make shrikhand.

Thank you all for sharing your recipes.
