Ingredients

Instructions

1. Set a strainer over a medium bowl and line the strainer with cheesecloth.
2. Pour the yogurt onto the cheesecloth, gather the ends, twist gently so liquid starts to drip, and place a heavy weight on top. Let it drain for 6 to 8 hours.
3. Reserve the roughly 2.5 cups of drained whey for baking or dough.
4. Warm the milk in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds, add the saffron and let it bloom.
5. Put the thick strained yogurt in a dry bowl, add the bloomed saffron and mix quickly.
6. Add the powdered sugar and mix with a slotted spatula for 5 to 10 minutes until fully combined.
7. Add the cardamom and mix again.
8. Garnish with more saffron and sliced pistachios, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
9. Before serving, gently mix the shrikhand, as the saffron will bleed orange colour as it chills.
