This Indian dessert is as simple as can be. Its sweet-tart flavor is wonderful when paired with a crisp cookie or fried dough. The end result is supposed to be just a bit tart, but add a bit more honey if desired.

Our Heirloom Yogurt Starter Variety Pack is perfect for beginners! It doesn't require the use of a yogurt maker and can culture right on your countertop - just add milk.
For this variety pack, we’ve carefully collected three of our favorite Scandinavian yogurt strains - simple, rich, drinkable Piima; mild, creamy Viili; and honey-scented Matsoni.
Try them all and find what you like best!
The only time-intensive part of this recipe is the overnight straining of the yogurt, so do plan ahead for that. Shrikhand makes a fresh addition to pancakes, cookies, or other dense baked goods.
