Shrikhand Kesar Pista
Gujarati shrikhand with saffron and pista, the chilled thali dessert. The taste of every good news day in an Indian household. Best after resting an hour; the flavours settle.
Ingredients
- Yogurt2 cups, whisked
- Salta pinch
- Ghee3 tbsp
- Saffrona pinch, soaked in warm milk
- Sugar1 tsp
- Green Cardamom4, ground
- Pistachios1/2 cup, chopped
Instructions
- 1
Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.
- 2
Start the base: the yogurt and sugar together in a thick pan, stirring so nothing catches.
- 3
Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

Stir in the saffron with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.
- 5
Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.
Chef's tip
Cardamom ground fresh from pods doubles the aroma.
