About shrikhand recipe
Shrikhand is made from thick curd, which is called hung curd in English. It is very easy to make. Tasty Shrikhand can be prepared quickly. I have used fresh cream to make Shrikhand.
It is whisked well and made with sugar and dry fruits. A very funny incident from my life is associated with the Shrikhand recipe. This dates back to the time when I was in 12th grade.
I had Home Science as a subject. It was exam time, and we had to do a practical. In this, all the students had to prepare a dish.
Based on this, we were to be graded for the practical exam. Everyone told their dish to the class teacher.
I had to choose a recipe that would take less time and stand out from the rest. So, I chose Shrikhand. On the day of the exams, all the students were giving their 100% effort in their recipes.
Everyone wanted to score very good marks. Despite all the hard work, the senior ma’am did not taste anyone’s recipe. When my turn came..
I served the chilled Shrikhand in front of ma’am. Not much, just a spoonful, but I was tempted to taste it too. However, I couldn’t do that.
As soon as I served the Shrikhand to ma’am, it felt like she had been waiting for it. Ten minutes later, my bowl of Shrikhand was completely finished, accompanied by lots of compliments. Should I call it luck or my choice.
That day, senior ma’am was fasting. My dish worked perfectly! And in that practical exam, I scored the highest marks. Although, in my heart, I did wish I could have tasted just a little bit of the Shrikhand.
The joy was so overwhelming that I completely forgot about this small desire, and I didn’t even realize it. How did you find this story? Did you like it or not? You can let me know in the comments.
