How to Make Easy Shrikhand

• Hang the yogurt in a muslin cloth for 3 hours, drain the whey and reserve.
• Dissolve saffron in the milk and set aside.
• Blanch the almonds, cool and cut into slivers.

• Tie a clean muslin cloth tightly over the mouth of a large clean vessel. The muslin cloth thus acts as a sieve and should not sag in the middle. Use a clean thick string to tie the cloth over the vessel. Transfer the thick yogurt along with the sugar onto the muslin cloth in small quantities.
• For every cup of thick yogurt, add 3/4 cup of sugar.
• Rub the above mixture firmly over the cloth, till the whole mixture is sieved.
• Add the dissolved saffron, almonds, pistachios and cardamom power to the sieved mixture.
• Mix well, transfer to a glass bowl and refrigerate till cold.
