Rose shrikhand is a very delicious Indian yogurt-based dessert recipe that is flavored with rose petals. This shrikhand is made from hung curd and rose petals syrup.
Shrikhand is one of my favourite Indian dessert recipe and I have already shared two of my favourite recipes kesar shrikhand and mango shrikhand here on the blog.
Shrikhand facts
According to wikipedia, Shrikhand is originally an ancient Indian (Mharashtrian) recipe founded in 400 BC. Shrikhand is considered as the oldest dessert in Indian cuisine.
Shrikhand is very popular in both Gujarat and Maharashtra state.
My summers are usually incomplete without mango shrikhand but This is my first summer in Canada and I am still learning and settling down so This summer, I am adapting the taste of mexican mangoes and exploring new ingredients. However, This rose(gulab) shrikhand is a pure indian recipe. 🙂
Ingredients to make rose shrikhand
Hung curd – Main ingredient of the recipe. You can use greek yogurt too. However, if you are using regular curd then you have to make hung curd from it first as we need a thick yogurt.
Sugar – main sweetener of the recipe. You can use your preferred sweetener instead of sugar.
Other – dry rose petals, cardamom powder, dry fruits, and pink food color are required. You can even use gulkand (rose petal jam) in this recipe. It will enhance the flavors.

Priya, this is just gorgeous! So creamy, light and floral. We have dried rose tea buds so we are ready to go. Love that delicate pink color. So pretty!

Priya, I have had the mango shrikhand but not rose. Also, I’d no idea it was so easy to make. I make a hung greek yogurt and honey dessert that’s very similar, so I’ll be trying this one for sure.
THank you so much Ron 🙂 I will try your honey and hung greek yogurt version for sure. sounds delicious 🙂

Wow – this sounds heavenly. I love rose-scented desserts, and I love that this is made with the rose petals.

Me and my wife loves shrikhand puri. Would love to try your version. From where did you purchased dry rose petals
Neat dish. I’ve never had this, but now I’m longing to make it. Thanks!
