Superb recipe...100/100...Though made using low-fat curds and sugar substitute, this shrikhand doesn''t have any after taste of sugar substitute and taste equally good as the regular shrikhand, thus making it a great addition to a diabetic menu....
Turned out very delicious.I used brown sugar instead of the sugar substitute.And i garnished the shrikhand with pistachios.
