#NFC - Shrikhand is a traditional Maharashtrian Dessert prepared with hung yoghurt. It is a very easy dessert that can be made in no time if the hung yoghurt is ready. It is usually flavored with saffron and cardamom powder for the plain version. However, you can make it a bit healthy and appetizing by adding any fruit of your choice.

So, check out my version of this yummy Blueberry Shrikhand, where I used a healthy combination of low fat yoghurt. This fruit based dessert is apt for any festive occasion. Garnish with chopped nuts, saffron and dry rose petals and enjoy.
