Shrikhand is a kind of yogurt very popular in Maharashtra and Gujarat. This is an essential part of their thali. They traditionally make it with kesar and cardamom. Now days my Daughter's board exams are on and I was wondering how can I support her with her food intake that can reduce her stress and also help her in coping with setting in summer. Then the idea stuck me that I can combine benefits of yogurt and roses and make a dish which she can relish and it will also help her in preparations. Roses have therapeutic benefits that relax body, reduce stress and promote glowing skin. I hope you will find this easy and exotic.
