Cardamom Shrikhand
- Line a colander with muslin/cheese cloth large enough that you can tie up its ends. Place the colander over a large bowl. Ensure that there is gap between the colander bottom & the bowl bottom to collect the draining liquid. Pour the yogurt into the colander and tie up all the ends of the muslin/cheesecloth. Let drain refrigerated for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight i
- Discard the whey once drained.cIf in hurry, you can use Greek yogurt to make shrikhand too. Skip draining if doing so.
- Transfer the strained yogurt into a bowl. Add cold cream to it and start whisking using a hand beater. Slowly add the sugar and beat until slightly stiff peaks. Add cardamom & nutmeg powder, mix and refrigerate for 1 more hour.
- Serve the chilled shrikhand into serving bowls & top with mango compote (recipe below). Keeps well in fridge for 2-3 days
Mango Saffron Compote
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the saffron in lukewarm water till it dissolves. About a minute or so. Stir in the lime juice, sugar and mix till sugar dissolves. Add in mangoes. Let sit for 2-3 hours in the fridge. Use as needed
