Shrikhand

What you need:
For two persons
1/2 liter Curd (Preferably with 3.8 % fat)
Sugar 200gm
Dry fruits : Almonds, Cashews etc. for decoration
Two pinch Cardamom powder

Preparation:
First you need to remove water from the curd. Wrap curd in a clean cloth and hang it with a string from a bar. Immediately water starts coming out of the cloth. You need to keep it for 6 - 7 hrs. Better you can put it hanging over the night so that in the morning only the cream remains in the cloth.

Once all the water is removed from the curd put it in the refrigerator for 30 min. After this add sugar and cardamom powder and stir well so that it mixes well with the cream. Add dry fruits and put it again in the refrigerator. Thats it! Your Shrikhad is ready. Take it out when you want to serve it :-)
