๐ŸŒผHappy Gudi Padwa and Happy Festivities to all ๐ŸŒผHappy Gudi Padwa and Happy Festivities to all in advance๐ŸŒผ This to me Happiness in a bowl โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ Pistachio Shrikhand ๐Ÿ˜ . . . Only downside of living abroad along with being away from your family is missing on those delicious mouth watering Indian desserts!!! . . I wont say we dont have access to them, we do however those is something really different than what we are used to eating from local mithaiwalas back in India..!๐Ÿ˜ . . . So in order to satiate the cravings we either have to get those packaged (dont know when) products while compromising on taste as well as quantity for those being really expensive or we have to get into our kitchen apron and make one our selves...! I somehow always happen to choose the latter option...:) To satisfy your sweet cravings without being hard on your pocket, here is my version of 3 basic ingredients Shrikhand recipe. Its perfect bowl of happiness I make every Gudi Padwa!๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ . . . Full Recipe on the Blog!
