#CA26 - 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 original version.
So, check out my version of this yummy Shrikhand, where I used some low fat yoghurt along with the reduced puree of sweet corn. It makes for a perfect summer treat and turns this humble dessert healthy and delicious.

Be sure to have this visually appealing dessert chilled for a divine experience. I simply love to dig into this melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. This was my first try at making this Sweet Corn Shrikhand and it turned out just amazing. It is perfect for any festive occasion and is a great party recipe too. You can also relish it as an after-meal dessert. Garnish as desired and Voila!! You have a yummy and a fuss-free healthy dessert.

Note -
As it was my first try I realized it's better to strain the blended sweet corn puree first before reducing it. This will help to retain the added flavors.
