Shrikhand is one of my favorite and simplest yogurt based dessert. It is very popular in Maharashtra and Gujarat region. Shrikhand is served with pooris or in Indian thalis or can be consumed like a sweet dish. To make Shrikhand, the consistency of the yogurt plays the key role. You can either prepare Hung curd or thick curd at home. Hung curd is prepared by tying yogurt in a muslin cloth or cheese cloth till the water is strained which usually takes 5-6 hours or overnight. For Instant Shrikhand recipe use Greek Yogurt or store bought yogurt and strain it to remove excess water. The curd or yogurt shouldn’t be too sour. Basically the yogurt needs to be thick and not watery.
