How to Make It

1. Step
Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a deep bowl.
2. Step
Scoop the Greek yogurt into the cheesecloth, then gather the cloth around the yogurt and twist the top so the yogurt forms a taut ball. Set in the strainer and refrigerate for 6–8 hours, up to overnight, until the whey has drained and the yogurt is very thick.
3. Step
Add the saffron to a small bowl. Pour the hot water over the threads and let soak for 5 minutes.
4. Step
Transfer the thick yogurt to a large bowl with the powdered sugar, saffron threads and soaking liquid, and cardamom. Whisk vigorously until well combined and smooth.
5. Step
Transfer the shrikhand in the serving bowls or cups and garnish with whipped cream and crushed nuts, if desired.
6. Step
Enjoy!
