Paan/Betal Leaves Shreekhand


 


Shrikhand is a traditional sweet of the Indian subcontinent made from strained yogurt. It is often served as part of a thali or with puris. It is a traditional dessert in Gujarati and Marathi cuisine.

To prepare shrikhand, yogurt is poured onto a cheesecloth. The cheesecloth is then tied and hung for several hours to drain the whey. Afterward, the strained yogurt is transferred to a bowl, where sugar, saffron, and cardamom are added. The mixture is whisked thoroughly to blend the flavors and achieve a smooth, creamy texture. It is then covered, chilled for a few hours, and served. The prepared shrikhand may be garnished with almonds or pistachios.

Here, I used paan (betel leaves), and it turned out to be absolutely delicious.
