Shirkand – Sweetened Yogurt
- 21

- 2009
Also Known As: Kesar Sheerkand, Shirkand, Sheerkhand, Sheer Khand. Saffron Infused Sweetened Yogurts.
Instant, is the only best way to describe this traditional dessert (If you don’t take solidifying yogurt into account)! Let me tell you, I was expecting something good…while mixing the ingredients! It came out ‘beyond expectation’!!! With all the seriousness…I will never go back to ‘plain yogurt’ anymore!! This simple recipe served as an inspiration for a wonderfully tangy, not too sweet, chunky-cream of deliciousness. And trust me, as I was never a ‘Yogurt’ person.
Ingredients
- Fresh Yogurts 1 large bowl
- Condensed milk (sweetened already) 1 small cup
- Saffron 1/4 spoon – ground
- No Sugar today…as the condensed milk may have enough!
- Nuts or Nutmeg to garnish
Method
- Hang the yogurts in a cheese cloth, for a pretty long time.:) I guess, I did for at least 5 hours.
- Now, I mixed this hung yogurt (called Chukka in Hindi) with saffron and condensed milk. If you like…you can actually beat the solid yogurt…but I prefer mine to be bit chunky (coz’ I am lazy).
- Then, chill them and garnish with nuts and nutmeg powder.
This is one of my favourite sweet comfort foods- Awesome recipe with the condensed milk- easy peasy!
Mmmmmmmm thats really awesome dessert.. looks very very tempting.
love all the toppings on that shirkand!

you know what Malar, even I am not a yoghurt person, I mean not even a Shrikhand person
. But looking at the presentation and addition of condensed milk makes me feel ‘I think I would like it’ 
..lovely!!
Dear Malar
Great ! This reminds me, many decades back,I learnt to make Shrikand and used to surprise my Bong friends in Calcutta, with this secrete sweet dish!!! When Amul flooded the market I stopped making it.
Now that you have come up with a recipe for Lazy people I am going to make it. By the way I take note of your modesty by calling yourself Lazy..If this is the definition of your laziness, what I see you as at Kitchen Tantra, you must be super lazy at work place!! Anyway by this definition of laziness, I am dead long back…
Jokes apart have a nice week, it is only Tuesday here…
Yum! Just tempting to taste….I will now… gimme a moment…Yo! just got a spoon to taste a spoonful… And it was thrilling….
I feel dessert-ed now….

Awesome dessert.. looks very tempting!!
BTW about the cabbage stir fry tip after adding coconut cover and cook just for 40sec in low flame and remove the lid and do the rest of cooking..do not add water while cooking; cabbage leaves are moist on its own, adding water make it soggy.Hope this will help u..do try and let me know.:)Thanks
