Steps

1

Place a strainer above a large bowl to collect the Whey or excess water drained from the curd. Place a clean muslin cloth over the stainer. Add curd to it and bring all the edges together. Squeeze out the excess whey from the curd.
2

Squeeze as much as possible. This is done by mixing the curd placed in the cloth with a spoon and again squeezing it. This process is repeated at least 3 to 4 times.
3

Now transfer curd into another cloth and place it on stainer. Keep some weight over it. Place it in the fridge for 45 minutes to an hour. Place a vessel below the stainer. In One tbsp warm milk soak the saffron Strings.
4

Now thick curd called Chakka is ready after all whey is drained. Now in small mixer jar add sugar and cardamon. Grind it to a fine powder.
5

Now add powdered sugar to the chakka and mix well.
6

Add soaked saffron to this and mix well until smooth. Garnish the shrikhand with chopped badam and cashew nuts.
