Homemade low fat Shrikhand with greek yoghurt

Shrikhand is a typical maharastrian dessert. Usually prepared during festivals like Gudi padwa. 

Shrikhand means a product obtained from chakka . Samant bros in Dadar is typically famous for their readymade instant chakka while Panshikar restaurant at Ranade road -Dadar is famous for its shrikhand 

However, I like preparing shrikhand at home right from making the chakka. I have made the chakka for this Shrikhand with waitrose low fat greek yoghurt.

Preparation:

Take low fat greek yoghurt in a white muslin cloth. Hang it till all the water is drained off. This process usually takes 3-4 hours.Now remove the yogurt from the muslin cloth and strain it well in a strainer to remove excess water. Keep this strained yogurt in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Then add saffron strands to the warm milk until they dissolve.Now mix the strained yogurt above dissolved saffron and sugar in a bowl. Mix it well with a hand blender. Blend it in a nice smooth mixture. Add cardamon powder and nutmeg powder and blend well. One can also add mango pulp and blend to make amrakhand. Garnish with pistachios.
