Shrikhand is a very popular dessert recipe in Maharashtra and Gujrat. It’s prepared during puja and festivals in Maharashtra. Believe me, it’s super tasty.
Just like the Italians know their rice noodles as Vermicelli, we Indians know it as shemai or shevai. It is the classic ingredient we add to our kulfi and other desserts for a smooth and slurp, jelly-candy texture. Shrikhand is a Maharashtrian sweet dish, it is made of hung curd and sugar and cardamom. It is a mayo like consistency, and only sweet, similar to the popular mishti doi in Bengal. Shrikhand is a dessert very popular in West Indian specially Maharashtra and Gujrat. I have mixed some steps to make a base for shrikhand from vermicelli or sevai.
Shrikhand is very common in my home; it goes with anything and everything. Usually, we have this a little less sweet and it a balance of sweet and sour. However, this dessert is uncompromising on the sweet quotient otherwise it will turn bland. Remember though, that this dish uses sweetened condensed milk in two steps, so use it practically to avoid making to sweeter than necessary.
