- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cardamom powder.

5. Add the sugar mixture to the strained yogurt and mix well.

6. If using saffron, soak it in a tablespoon of hot water and add it to the yogurt mixture.

7. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

8. Garnish with chopped nuts, if desired.

9. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Note: You can also add other flavorings like rosewater, kewra essence, or fruit purees to the Shrikhand to give it a unique twist.
