Kesar Shrikhand - Sweet Delights & Drinks |
 |
|
| |
Traditional Indian dessert , made from strained yogurt and sugar added for sweetness. You can add pistachios,almonds and other nuts for that added richness.A little pinch of saffron gives it that lovely color. Also if one likes different flavors, one can add mangoes and make Mango shrikhand or strawberries to make strawberry shrikhand. This desert is effortless, yet so tasty and a sure winner with your guest. It's a perfect dessert after a hot spicy Indian meal.Its special because its made by my mother in law, Mrs Nivedita Sheth. |
