Ingredients:
- 2 cup - thick plain curds / yogurt - Greek yogurt may be used
- ΒΌ cup - powdered sugar
- Pistachios 8-10 blanched, peeled and sliced
- Almonds 8-10 blanched, peeled and sliced
- Cashew 8-10 chopped
- Raisins 8 - 10 (optional)
- Green cardamom powder 1/4 teaspoon
- Warm milk 2 tablespoons
- Saffron (kesar) large pinch
- Place a strainer over a bowl, layer a piece of muslin/cheese cloth over the strainer. Pour the curds and let the liquid drain. Tie the cloth with the curds in it and let it hang overnight (or 4 to 5 hours) over the bowl, in a refrigerator, to drain.
- Meanwhile, blench and peel the almonds, remove the pistachio from the its shells. Since almond is moist, I roast it slightly.... and then roast the cashews too.
- Chop the nuts into small pieces |or| In a blender, pulse the nuts couple of times
- In warm milk, soak Saffron.
- Transfer the drained curds into a bowl.
- Add the sugar and mix well.
- Now add chopped nuts, milk with Saffron and cardamom powder.
- Mix all together. Serve cold after meal.
Note:
- If you are using Greek yogurt, you may skip - Step 1.
- Sometimes while using think curds, I skip - Step 1.
- It's a dessert which also helps with digestion.
- Don't use sour curds, you may end up adding more sugar to compensate the tangy taste.
