"My absolute favourite Indian dessert: SHRIKHAND
Traditionally it's a simple mix of curd cheese and sugar, topped of with saffron, cardamom, nuts and fruit such as pomegranate depending on personal preferences.
My mum made it with a Greek yoghurt and quark and cardamom topped with saffron, pistachio, pomegranate and almond.
I remember my mum used to add tinned fruit and I'd always try get the cherries. it's only made on special occasions! Think it would make a great cheesecake topping!"
