How to make the recipe
Preparation
Place a strainer over a large bowl to collect the whey.
Spread a clean muslin or cheese cloth over the strainer.
Add curd to the cloth. Bring all the edges together.
Squeeze out the excess whey from the curd.
Place the curd along with the cloth in between a thick large absorbent towel or cloth.
Transfer this to a plate and place a heavy object over the curd. I use my cast iron pan.
Leave this in the fridge for 1 hour.
Drained super thick curd or chakka will be ready after the whey has been drained completely.
Soak saffron in 1 tbsp hot water or hot milk.
Powder the sugar and set aside.
How to make shrikhand
Remove chakka from the cloth and transfer to a mixing bowl. Most of the whey would have been drained.
Add saffron, sugar and cardamom powder.
Mix everything well either with a spoon or with a whisk until smooth.
Serve with puri or chill and enjoy as a dessert.
Garnish shrikhand with chopped nuts.
