Shrikhand is a very popular dessert in Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is made from strained yogurt and sugar. It is most often flavored with dry fruits, cardamom, and saffron. Other common flavors include fresh fruits and mango pulp, but one can be creative in flavoring Srikhand. This recipe is a simple recipe which flavors Srikhand with two different flavors one fig-maple and second orange- ginger. Each of these gives a unique taste to it. When served in mini orange tarts it makes it more appetizing.
