- 1 tbsp of saffron water
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios and almonds
- ½ cup of organic jaggery powder

Now refrigerate the curd for 2 hours to prevent it from becoming sour.
In a large bowl, mix the curd with ½ cup of jaggery along with 1 tbsp of saffron water and ¼ teaspoon of cardamom powder.
Mix well and garnish the Shrikhand with chopped pistachios, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
