To carry their [[yogurt]] more easily while traveling overnight, they strained out its [[whey]]. Since the strained yogurt became sour by morning, they mixed it with sugar and nuts to make it more palatable, and shrikhand was born.<ref name= "diverse">{{Cite web\|title=Shrikhand - My Diverse Kitchen - A Vegetarian Blog\|url=https://www.mydiversekitchen.com/shrikhand}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=Shrikhand\|url=https://www.tasteatlas.com/shrikhand}}</ref><ref name = "history">{{Cite web\|title=History - Shrikhand\|url=http://www.shrikhand.co.za/history.html}}</ref>

			According to [[food historian]] [[K. T. Achaya]], shrikhand was first made around 500 BC. His book ''Indian Food: A Historical Companion'' states, "To dewater curd, it was hung in a [[muslin]] bag for a few hours; sugar and spices added to the mass yielded shikharini (identical with modern day shrikhand), first noted around 500 BC.” As seen below, this procedure is still followed today.<ref name = "creamy"/><ref name= "diverse"/>

			==Preparation==
			To prepare shrikhand, yogurt is poured onto a [[cheesecloth]]. The cheesecloth is tied and hung over a bowl for several hours to drain the whey. The strained yogurt is transferred to a bowl, and sugar, saffron, and cardamom are added. The mixture is whisked thoroughly to blend the flavors and impart a smooth, creamy texture. It is then covered, chilled for a few hours, and served. The prepared shrikhand may be garnished with almonds or pistachios before serving.<ref name = "nyt"/><ref name = "tarla"/><ref name = "food"/><ref name = "diverse"/><ref name = "taste">{{Cite web\|title=Yogurt Worth Celebrating\|url=https://tastecooking.com/yogurt-worth-celebrating/}}</ref>
