Belkhand /Woodapple Shrikhand

This is my loving mom's traditional recipe.  Wood apple is beneficial during summers as it prevents us from getting heat strokes and indigestion.  Shrikhand is a thick and rich creamy sweet yogurt recipe. This is a unique and different, twisted version of shrikhand with addition of pulp of bel/ wood apple fruit, cardamom and dry fruits.
