I invited friends over for dinner a few days ago and was trying to think of a simple and easy dessert recipe that is not too high in calories. At that moment enlightenment struck me :O and I decided on hung up yoghurt (also called Shrikhand in India), which is an absolutely amazing yoghurt recipe that even the most lactose intolerant person can have.



Hung up yoghurt is a good alternative to high fat ice creams and desserts and is very simple to make. Here is my quick and simple recipe. Get 1 kg of natural yoghurt, something like Greek style yoghurt and a muslin cloth. Put the yoghurt onto the muslin cloth like the picture below.



Now tie the muslin cloth which has the yoghurt in it onto a hook or something high such that the water can drip down through the muslin cloth. You will be quite amazed how much water drips down. This process takes 12 hours, so leave the cloth hanging overnight with a bowl to collect the water.



Once the water and whey has come out, what is left in the cloth after 12 hours is yoghurt which is thick and is drained of all the water. It looks like the picture below.



Empty the contents into a bowl and mix with a ladle and add powdered sugar, powdered cardamom and saffron for the rich colour. Keep tasting till you feel the sugar quantity is adequate. You might need 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar. The mix is now smooth and creamy.



Store it in the fridge to chill the contents and serve with some chopped pistachios on the top.



It is one of the best alternatives to high calorie desserts, simple to make and usually loved by all. I'd love to know how you went with the recipe, leave your comments below.
