Living away from home in a college or university dorm has its challenges. Cohabit with strangers, studying, handling distractions, finding privacy and figuring out where to find good food to eat. Dorm cafeteria options vary with more schools catering to special diets, yet many students still grab quick convenience items like pop, chips and sugary snacks or choose microwaveable meals. For students looking for an alternative I have shared many healthy and variety of dorm room recipes on this website. This dorm room no cook shrikhand recipe is one of them.
Saffron and cardamom are traditional and stunning combination for shrikhand paired with tangy yogurt, but the flavors and combinations are endless. You may use any fruit puree like mango or use pistachio as topping for some crunch and salt, even you may opt for any other nut of your choice.
