Strawberry shrikhand

Shrikhand is a popular sweet dish from the state of Gujarat. It can be served either as a sweet dish or a side dish in Gujarat. In a traditional Guajarati family shrikhand is a must have dish on daily basis.

In Gujarat ,shrikhand is a must served item in each thali in restaurants. Festivals and special occasions are incomplete without shrikhand. A variety of flavors , dried fruits, fresh fruits and even berries also can be added to the shrikhand to get a new flavor .

Shrikhand is served chilled as hung curd is the main ingredient or we can call it as a base ingredient. Usually yoghurt is tied in muslin cloth to drain out all the whey from it. After that sugar and flavorings can be added and mixed to the hung curd to make delicious shrikhand.

Usually I make many verities of  shrikhnad at home. But every time it is not possible to click and share.  Last time I made mango shrikhand which is my all time favorite. Do try strawberry shrikhand , this is equally healthy and yum !!!!
