Hello my friends!
Hope all of you and your loved once are healthy and safe.
“Shrikhand”, I am sure all of you are aware of this delicious Western Indian dessert. Traditionally made with thick hung yogurt and sugar and flavoured with cardamom and saffron. Hot puris with chilled shrikhand is a delicacy in Maharashtra and Gujurat.
But this time I have tweaked a little bit and given it a Bengali twist. I have sweetened it with nolen gur which add a subtle sweetness and flavour to the shrikhand. I have also added pinch of cardamom powder to it but you can totally skip it. You won’t believe how amazingly morish it is. Nolen gurer shrikhand looks and tastes so much like mishti doi. We literally polished off everything in one go.
And my little one loved it to bits.
Look how thick and creamy this shrikhand is. This dessert is perfect to be served during get togethers or parties. I have spooned this date palm jaggery shrikhand in small pots for everyone to enjoy and relish their their small individual serving.
Oh and by the way the gorgeous rose you see in the picture is from my rose shrub. My first rose of 2020. It is just mesmerizing isn’t it!

- Slowly spoon the shrikhand in serving bowls and garnish with pistachios or any nuts of your choice.
- Serve it chilled as desserts.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness as per your taste and liking.
- If you wish you can skip adding cardamom powder in this shrikahnd. Do not add too much cardamom powder if you are adding, we don’t want the cardamom flavour to over power the nolen gurer flavour.
