Today is a New Year Day. So I made Shrikhand to welcome the new year. May all of you have a wonderful year ahead - even if you celebrate today as a new year or not. God bless!
Shrikhand
Ingredients
1 container Greek Yogurt
3/4 - 1 cup sugar (Depending on your own preference!)
A pinch of salt
Garnish
1/2 tsp Charolis
2 cardamoms, peeled & crushed
1 tbsp warm milk + few strands of saffron
Method
1. Mix Greek yogurt, salt & sugar
2. Stir in cardamoms, saffron milk.
3. Garnish with Charolis.
Note -
1. Greek Yogurt is the yogurt where water/whey is all drained.
2. You can use usual plain yogurt, hang it in a muslin cloth or multiple layers of coffee filters for 6-8 hours to drain the whey and then proceed. I generally make Shrikhand/Amrakhand this way.
Verdict:
1. I made this shrikhand using the Greek yogurt for the first time today. I used the non-fat version, that could be the reason, but I felt that Shrikhand had more moisture than I would have liked. Use low-fat or full-fat version of Greek yogurt or use the usual method of draining the yogurt in a muslin cloth to get the creamier Shrikhand.
Happy Ugadi

Madhavi:
Thanks for your kind words. Best wishes to you as well.
Hima:
Thanks so much!
Aruna:
Thanks for your wishes. Best wishes to you & yours as well. As I said, shrikhand made from this Greek yogurt which is actually like whey-drained yogurt - was little watery than I would have liked. But it could be because of the nonfat version.
Uma:
Thanks. Best wishes to you too.
Maya:
Where are you, girl? Thanks for your wishes. My best wishes to you & yours.
Purnima:
Greek yogurt is like the yogurt where whey is already drained. If you remember, in Mumbai, you get readymade "Chakka" for making shrikhand? It's something like that. My best wishes to you & yours.
Saswati:
Thanks for your wishes. Best wishes.
Cham:
Thanks for sharing your feedback about nonfat & whole versions of Greek Yogurt. Since my shrikhand had little more moisture than I would have liked, I thought it may be due to the nonfat version. My best wishes to you as well.
Happy Cook:
So glad to see you back. Hope you had a wonderful break. Missed you.
Thanks for your wishes.
Divya:
Thanks for your wishes. Best wishes to you too.
Ranji:
Join the club. I don't like yogurt much too. As a kid, i never ever ate anything to do with yogurt. Not even Shrikhand or Dahi vada or anything. but now i think my tastebuds are adjusted somewhat. Still I can't eat plain yogurt.
Vanamala:
Thanks for your wishes. Best wishes to you & yours.
