#janmashtamirecipe #easyshrikhandrecipe #gujaraticuisine #greekyogurt #mayurisjikoni Shrikhand is a traditional Gujarati yogurt sweet dish. Usually served as a part of the main meal with puris.

It also helps to make the shrikhand so much more creamier. And best of all, add sugar according to your taste. Make shrikhand according to your family's preference. Add only cardamom, or saffron and nuts one. Try out a fruity shrikhand.
