Shrikhand an extremely popular Indian dessert .....
Shrikhand is an Indian sweet dish made of strained yoghurt.
Strained yoghurt, means yoghurt which has been strained in a cloth or paper bag or filter to remove the whey, giving a consistency between that of yoghurt and cheese, while preserving yoghurt's distinctive sour taste. W hen making Shrikhand, yogurt is tied in a cotton cloth and left under pressure to drain.
In the past, it used to be hung from a wall to achieve the desired thickness.
The strained yogurt, referred to as "Chakka", and sugar is mixed thoroughly in a deep bowl. Cardamom, saffron, and any other flavors are then added and mixed. It is then left in the refrigerator for the sugar to dissolve. The dish is served chilled.
A popular variation of shrikhand in Maharashtra is Amrakhand (आम्रखंड), which is shrikhand blended with mango pulp.
In Gujarati cuisine, shrikhand is eaten as either a side-dish with breads such as poori.
One of India's ancient traditional desserts, shirkhand first became known in the west part of India and is now found widely throughout the country.
