In the Gujarati Thali menu, Shrikhand had a permanent place. Even though I have done so many variations of the Shrikhand, I just could'n't ignore. If you talk about your regular Shrikhand, Aamrakhand, Badam Pistachio Shrikhand, Badam Shrikhand, or little daring to try Chocolate Shrikhand or Strawberry Shrikhand, I have it all.
There was nothing new I could make or maybe there is, I am yet to check it out. Anyway even if the menu was supposed to be a mini one, it was still daunting and the other sweet that I planned to make, didn't materialize. So I had to plan for a Shrikhand!
It calls for another mix and match and I have a Kesar Pista Shrikhand for you!
I simply love Shrikhand and in this version, I resorted to quick version of it by using icing sugar. This makes it more creamy somehow and we ended up with such a delicious dessert!
This is part of the Gujarati Thali that I prepared

I don't like plain yogurt but love sweet and savory (raitha & perugu pachadi) yogurt. Kesar pista shrikand looks creamy and is mouthwatering.

Truly shrikhand is a versatile sweet , one can have umpteen flavors. The kesar pista is one of the most popular ones. Icing sugar is a good option.
