Dry fruits shrikhand & Mango Shrikhand

Shrikhand is a dessert based on fresh thick hung curd.I don't know much history of shrikhand,I learnt this delicious summer special healthy dessert from my Gujarati friend.She told me that people of Maharashtra also made this recipe.It is mainly a thick sweet curd.To make it more delicious and flavourful  some dry fruits and small cardamom powder are used.Here I have shared two types of shrikhand recipes.To make it more flavourful you can add few threads of saffron,actually my family members do not like saffron flavour in curd,so I have not added saffron in shrikhand.You can add,if you wish to add it.


These are Dry fruits shrikhand & Mango Shrikhand.Mango shrikhand is also known as aamshrikhand.It is a extended version of traditional dry fruits shrikhand recipe.In these recipes I have used home made fresh curd.Always prefer home made curd,if possible,otherwise use greek yoghurt.I always prefer to use seasonal fresh mango to make mango shrikhand.If it is not possible,you can use store bought mango pulp to make this recipe.

Lets start the recipe
