Steps

1

You can use either homemade curd (plain yogurt) or store bought curd according to the availability. Use the curd that is not sour otherwise, shrikhand will turn sour.
2

Take a deep and broad bowl and place a large strainer on it. Spread a clean muslin cloth or a cheesecloth over it and add the plain curd in the center.
3

Wrap the muslin cloth from all sides and tightly tie it.
4

Hang curd in a refrigerator for around 6 to 7 hours or until almost water is drained off from the curd. Place an empty container below it to collect the whey (drained curd liquid). Curd should become very thick.
5

After 6-7 hours, untie the muslin cloth and transfer thick strained curd to a bowl.
6

Add powdered sugar and cardamom powder.
7

Mix properly using a hand beater or a spoon until smooth.
8

Add chopped almonds and cashew nuts and mix well. Refrigerate prepared shrikhand for at least an hour before serving. Serve it chilled.
