Indian Cooking Recipe: Shreekhand
The following are the instructions on how to cook delicious Indian food: Shreekhand
Ingredients:
1. curd / yogurt
2. Sugar (takes equal amount of sugar and chakka i.e. for 2 cups chakka, use 2 cups sugar.)
3. saffron
4. cardamom powder,
5. chironjis (charoli),
6. pistas and almonds
7. a pinch of salt
Method of Preparation:
1. Tie the yogurt in a muslin cloth for 6-7 hours and hang it. Or put under some weight.
2. After 6-7 hours, remove it from the cloth and check whether all the water has drained out. The result is known as 'chakka' for Shreekhand.
3. Mix sugar and a pinch of salt in chakka and pass it through the puran machine to get lump free, nice smooth shreekhand. Now add chironjis and nuts to it.
5. Soak saffron in 2 tsp. warm milk. Add it to the shreekhand. Also add cardamom powder, mix and chill.
TIP: Use of puran machine for sieving chakka and sugar is recommended. Because it removes the lumps and undissolved sugar granules, if any. However, you can use grinder or beater instead of puran machine.
