Shrikhand
श्रीखण्डम्
The text references thick, strained curd preparations (Chakka/Shrikhand) as heavy, nourishing, and strengthening. When mixed with sugar and spices, these become delicious dessert preparations. They are nourishing and aphrodisiac but heavy to digest. They should be consumed in moderate quantities by persons with good digestive fire.
