Kesar And Pomegranate Shrikand

I'm using a cheat proof method in making my kesar and pomegranate shrikand. Instead of the traditional method of draining excess water from yogurt, i'm using Greek yogurt which is known for its thick and a very very less (almost no) water content. I opted for plain flavour Greek yogurt since i'm adding kesar and pomegranate to enhance their flavor.

This rich and creamy shrikand served with fruity taste of crunchy and juicy vibrant red sweet pomegranate. The gorgeous colour from the milk soaked saffron is absolutely feast for eyes. With a little hint of sweet cardamom i'm happy to declare kesar and pomegranate shrikand is a darling treat in a hot blazing sun summer.

Ingredients

1 tube plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup confectioner sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
1 cup pomegranate kernels
3-4 saffron threads (soaked in 2 tbsp milk)


Methods

In a bowl, add Greek yogurt,confectioners sugar,cardamom powder and soaked saffron threads. Beat well with hand mixer.

Using a spatula, stir in the pomegranate kernels

Transfer to a serving bowl/glass and garnish with more pomegranate kernels and saffron threads.


Notes

• If you are not using Greek yogurt, use a colander and lined with cheese cloth. Transfer the yogurt into the cheese cloth, Tie the cheese cloth and place a heavy object on them ans place in the refrigerator overnight to drain the excess water.
