kesar shrikhand | saffron elaichi yoghurt


Shrikhand is mildly flavoured indian dessert which is traditionally prepared by hung curd , sugar and spices like cardamons, saffron and dry fruits.

 This Gujarati style saffron shrikhand recipe uses saffron and cardamom powder to get delicious and flavorful taste of a creamy dessert.

I did not add any dry fruits to this shrikhand as I wanted pure kesar shrikhand. adding dryfruits to this kesar shrikhand is optional.add them if u like .
