Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Coconut yogurt
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 4 pieces Green cardamom pods
- 1 pinch Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Warm almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 1 teaspoon Rose water
Instructions
Begin by placing the coconut yogurt in a muslin cloth or a fine sieve to remove excess water. Allow it to drain for about an hour in the refrigerator to achieve a thick consistency.
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in two tablespoons of warm almond milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to release the color and flavor.
Crush the seeds from the green cardamom pods into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
Once the coconut yogurt has drained sufficiently, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the powdered sugar to the yogurt and whisk until smooth and well blended.
Pour in the saffron-infused almond milk along with the cardamom powder and rose water. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar as per your preference.
Fold in the slivered almonds and chopped pistachios, reserving some for garnish.
Transfer the Dairy-Free Shrikhand into serving bowls and garnish with the remaining almonds and pistachios.
Chill the shrikhand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
