Traditional Maharashtra dish with a thick creamy texture shrikhand/strained yogurt: Shrikhand is a popular Indian yogurt-based dessert with a thick, creamy texture that is sweetened with sugar and fruits. In North India, it is typically offered as a dessert after the main course, whereas in South India, it is commonly served as a breakfast meal. It's often served alongside puris or as part of a thali. It is a traditional dessert in Gujarati and Marathi cuisine. Shrikhand is traditionally made from hung curd (also known as 'Chakka' in Marathi), a handmade yogurt that has been drained of any whey. When eaten with deep-fried poori, shrikhand (probiotic) is a low-glycemic-index meal. Furthermore, because fat is necessary for fullness, it minimizes the risk of overeating. This easy lunch is healthful and safe for everyone, including those who are overweight, diabetic, or have heart disease.
