Strawberry Shrikhand | strawberry yoghurt

Shrikhand is a sweetened yogurt dish made with hung yogurt. It is often the sweet dish found in Maharashtrian  & gujarati thalis and not only is it a sweet component, but a very healthy one too.

 Shrikhand is often served flavored with saffron, and at times fruit flavored variations of shrikhand are also enjoyed. The most popular flavor being mango when its season. Its called amarkhand.

I made my shrikhand with some strawberries, which gave it a pretty pink color. my husband said that it tasted like strwberry yoghurt which you get in US. i had kept shrikhand simple & did not add any cardamom powder or dryfruits .


Delicious, refreshing, fabulous, colourful and flavourful strawberry .
