Boil the milk. When slightly cool, add beaten curd. Set curd for 10 to 12 hours. Tie the curd in a muslin cloth and hang for two hours for the water to drain out.

Divide the shrikhand in three equal portions. To the first portion, add saffron. Add rose essence and rose colour to the second portion, and the chopped pistachio and green colour to the third portion.
