Notes

• Strain the Yogurt well for Shrikhand:
  To achieve the rich, thick texture of Shrikhand, start with full-fat yogurt. Strain it in a muslin cloth or cheesecloth for 3-4 hours (or overnight) to remove excess whey. This will give your Shrikhand a creamy, smooth consistency.
• Perfecting the Puri Dough:
  Knead the puri dough until smooth but firm – this helps puris puff up well. Avoid adding too much water, as a stiffer dough yields crispier puris.
• Fry at the Right Temperature:
  For perfectly puffed and golden puris, heat oil over medium-high heat. If the oil is too hot, puris may burn or become too greasy; too cool, and they’ll absorb excess oil. Test with a small piece of dough to ensure it floats immediately and begins to bubble.
• Leftovers:
  Store leftover Shrikhand in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Puris are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in a paper towel-lined container to maintain some crispness for a few hours.

 

Enjoy this festive treat with family and friends, and don’t hesitate to add your own special touch to the recipe!
