srikund (yogurt-saffron cream)prepare ahead of time
1 quart/liter high high fat yogurt
¾ cup super fine sugar
¾ teaspoon cardamom powder
½ teaspoon saffron threads
slivered toasted almonds or pistachios to garnish
1.
Wrap the yogurt into several layers of cheese cloth. Strain the yogurt over a bowl to catch the
liquid — at least 5 hours.
2.
Place the strained yogurt in a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, cardamom and saffron. Mix well.
NOTE: For best results let the srikund 'develop' for about 5 or 6 hours before serving. This allows the
flavors of the saffron and cardamom to enfold to the fullest.
Before serving, stir well and garnish with toasted almond slivers
