    I would never have imagined myself eating a savory dish with a sweet side. So when we were served Shrikhand with Pooris and Oondhiyu at our Gujarati friend's house, I was almost reluctant to take the plunge. But I took their word for it and tried it anyway. It was a really good combo, not at all like what I was imagining it to be.

    So when I planned this Oondhiyu meal, I had to make the Shrikhand too to make it more like the traditional Gujarati way of serving the dish. Good thing is that it takes just a few minutes to make Shrikhand if you are using Greek yogurt, but if you are using regular yogurt, then make sure to place the yogurt in a cheese cloth for a few hours to remove as much excess liquid from it as possible.

    So here's a simple, creamy and delicious Kesar Shrikhand to serve as a dessert or as a side dish to pooris.

    Kesar Shrikhand is a creamy and delicious saffron flavored Sweetened Yogurt. It is a great summer dessert or can be served as a side to pooris as well.

      i normally don't like sweet with savory dishes but some combos are so good. One of my favorite is makka garelu with pala padiyam (rice flour kheer). Shrikhand looks so delicious and with Greek yogurt, it is so easy to prepare. I though you would do this for S, when saw it in the main post.. 🙂

      I guess most of the south indians won't like this sweet and savory mix for the main meal...However I find that we are okay to tasting that combo when it comes to pairing the north indian meals..lovely pictures..
