Ingredients list for Shrikhand with Caramelised Walnuts

  • 3 cups Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Walnuts , roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Green cardamom powder
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • a few Saffron strands

Method

  1. Pour the yogurt into a large piece of muslin cloth, bring the edges together to form a potli. Keep the potli in a strainer kept over a large bowl and let the excess water drain off completely. Keep the bowl in the refrigerator so that the yogurt doesn’t turn sour. This may take 3-4 hours.
  2. Put the hung yogurt into a sieve kept over another bowl, add powdered sugar and mix till the sugar blends completely with the yogurt and the mixture passes through the sieve into the bowl.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan, add walnuts and 2 tablespoons sugar and cook stirring continuously till the sugar caramelizes. Transfer the mixture onto a plate lined with butter paper and spread evenly.
  4. Add green cardamom powder to the yogurt mixture. Take milk in a small bowl, add saffron and mix well. Add this to the yogurt mixture and mix everything well.
  5. Add half the caramelized walnuts and mix well.
  6. Transfer the shrikhand into serving bowl, garnish with the remaining caramelized walnuts and serve.
