This Indian dessert is as simple as can be. Its sweet-tart flavor is wonderful when paired with a crisp cookie or fried dough. The end result is supposed to be just a bit tart, but add a bit more honey if desired.

Our Heirloom Yogurt Starter Variety Pack is perfect for beginners! It doesn't require the use of a yogurt maker and can culture right on your countertop - just add milk. 

For this variety pack, we’ve carefully collected three of our favorite Scandinavian yogurt strains - simple, rich, drinkable Piima; mild, creamy Viili; and honey-scented Matsoni.

Try them all and find what you like best!






The only time-intensive part of this recipe is the overnight straining of the yogurt, so do plan ahead for that. Shrikhand makes a fresh addition to pancakes, cookies, or other dense baked goods.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 cups whole milk yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Pinch cardamom
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp. raisins
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, or walnuts)


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Strain plain yogurt overnight.
  2. Once straining is complete, whisk in honey and spices. Fold in raisins and nuts.
  3. Cover and transfer to refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
