Krithika'S Shrikhand
- 4 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron
- 2 teaspoons milk, warmed in a small bowl on top of the stovetop while something else is cooking
- 3 cardamom pods, crushed
- toasted almonds, to taste
- Put the saffron threads to steep in the milk on the stovetop. Let it steep for at least 10 or 15 minutes while you do something else.
- Stir the sugar into the yogurt. I want to digress to mention that if you are not cleaning out the refrigerator, the best ever luxury yogurt for this dish is White Mustache.
- Stir in the cardamom pods. Swirl in the infused milk and saffron threads so the color is streaked through the yogurt.
- Refrigerate the shrikhand. When ready to serve, sprinkle cooled toasted almonds (I like them with the skins still on, in large ish pieces) and serve. It is a beautiful dish and no one will ever think you are cleaning out the refrigerator!
