Shrikhand with fruits and nuts

Ingredients:

* 1 kg (2 lb) Indian curd ( yogurt) prepared from full fat milk
* 1 tsp ground small green cardamoms
* 1/4 tsp saffron strands
* 2 tbsp milk(warm)
* 3/4 cup sugar (powdered)
* 1/2 cup fresh fruits ( pineapple, apple, chikku, mango), thinly chopped
* few almonds, Cashews and pistachios for garnishing

Method:

Place the curd in a muslin (malmal) cloth, tie a tight knot and hang it for 3-4 hours roughly, until all the water had drained off from the curd. Dip saffron strands in warm milk and keep aside.

Now in a large mixing bowl, mix together strained curd, sugar, saffron milk and ground cardamoms and churn it out using a hand mixer. Add chopped fruits and mix it again using a spoon. Garnish the Shrikhand with almonds, pistachios and cashews and serve it chilled.
