Ingredients:
• 4 liters milk
• 1 kilogram sugar
• 10 grams each of charoli, cardamom, and pistachios
• Saffron
• Rose water
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Yogurt: Heat the milk and let it cool slightly. Once lukewarm, add yogurt to it and mix well. Cover the container with a cloth and a lid. Let it sit overnight to allow the yogurt to set properly.
2. Strain the Yogurt: Place a clean, fine muslin cloth in a strainer over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the cloth and let it drain the excess whey. Once drained, tie the cloth with the yogurt into a bundle and hang it over a bowl for a few hours to remove all the water.
3. Mix the Shrikhand: In a kitchen mixer, blend the thick strained yogurt with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add rose water and saffron, and mix well until fully incorporated
4. Garnish and Serve: Pour the shrikhand into a serving dish and garnish with charoli, cardamom, and chopped pistachios. Refrigerate until chilled and serve.
