Answer 4

SHRIKHAND

Ingredients:

1 quart plain good quality thick yogurt

1/2 cup of good quality sour cream

1 tbsp milk

pinch of saffron

1/3 cup of sugar (depends on taste, Splenda/Equal may also be substituted)

1/4 tsp freshly ground cardamom

toasted and crushed pistachios (or almonds) for garnish

cheesecloth or fine muslin

Method:

In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and sour cream. Using a cheesecloth or fine muslin, add the yogurt and sour cream mixture and drain out any excess liquid. This is easily done by tying and hanging the cheesecloth in a cool dry place over a large bowl to catch any of the liquid. This is best left overnight and the process will result in a very thick and creamy yogurt/sour cream base.

In a small bowl, combine the milk and saffron threads. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, the milk will turn a brilliant orange color. In a large mixing bowl, add the drained yogurt/sour cream base. With an electric mixer, beat on low for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Then add the sugar. You can easily control the amount of sugar depending on your personal preferences, you can also substitute Splenda/Equal.

Blend the sugar with the yogurt/sour cream mixture and add the saffron/milk mixture and the ground cardamom. Beat on medium high for a few minutes until smooth and that's it! Simple and easy! Refrigerate and served chilled. Garnish with pistachios or almonds.
