  • Powdered sugar - approx. 3/4 cup

METHOD

  • Take a bowl and place a nice big strainer over it.
  • Cover the strainer with a muslin or cheese cloth. Pour all the yogurt over the muslin cloth.
  • Gather the sides of the cloth and squeeze a little so that all the water drips out from the curd.
  • Keep this hung yogurt (as is with the strainer and the bowl underneath) overnight in the fridge.
  • In this process, all the excess water from the curd would drip out in the bowl and what you'll get after 8 to 10 hours is a nice thick consistency (almost like cheese) yogurt. This is called the hung curd.
  • Once you have the hung curd ready, take it out in a bowl. You can use the dripped water in any gravy sabzi or for kneading the dough.
  • In the yogurt, mix the sugar and cream and whisk using a hand whisker until combined nicely.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding a little milk. The end consistency should be almost like a thick custard.
  • Flavor it with some rose water and cardamom powder.
  • Garnish with some slivered almonds or kesar strands as you like.
  • Serve chilled.
