Are yogurt and shrikhand are same?

Yogurt and shrikhand are not the same, though they are related. Yogurt is a fermented dairy product made by bacterial fermentation of milk, while shrikhand is a traditional Indian dessert made by straining yogurt to remove whey, resulting in a thicker consistency, and then sweetening it with sugar and flavoring it with ingredients like cardamom or fruit. In essence, shrikhand is a specialized form of yogurt that is sweetened and flavored.
