Yogurt is having a moment. People in India are slowly falling for its charm, especially the fitness freaks. It is rightly, though the thing is delicious, it is super rich in calcium, it is creamy and fat-free.

There are so many things you can make from yogurt. One of the good things about yogurt is that you can have it as a sweet or savory. It is fully customizable for brunches or dinners depending upon your recipe. You can add a layer of it over your muesli, pancakes or waffles, toss it into your salads, sandwiches, etc. The possibilities are just endless.

But if you want to dip your fingers a deeper here is a recipe that will transform your simple yogurt into a lip-smacking dessert

🔔 2 cups of Greek Yogurt

I have taken Epigamia mango yogurt, they have some very cool range of flavors you can try one you wish

🔔 2 tablespoon of powder sugar

🔔 A pinch of saffron strands

🔔 Nutmeg powder 1/2 teaspoon

🔔 Cardamom powder1/2 teaspoon

🔔 Chopped Almonds and pistachios for garnish

How to make

🔔Take a large bowl whisk the Greek yogurt with the powdered sugar well until a smooth paste.

🔔 Now, pour in the saffron, dissolved in the milk, and whisk together.

🔔 Add nutmeg powder and again whisk together. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, Before serving garnish the shrikhand with chopped almonds and pistachios

This is an extremely simple recipe if you have guests coming home and have no time for sweets. Of course, you can buy it from the store but this can be a cheaper option.

Note: When you make shrikhand out of greek yogurt the consistency or the texture of the shrikhand will be smooth and creamy and not thick and hard as you bring from the store.

Since it is made with yogurt, it takes longer to set. It’s ideal to make it two days in advance of serving, or at least the day before.
