A delicious sweet Indian dish, with only six ingredients. - Munira

Ingredients

500g tub Greek yoghurt
125g Icing sugar
2-4 strands of saffron
2 tbsp warm milk
8-9 pistachios, crushed
1/2 tsp cardamom

Method

Step 1

Place Greek yoghurt in strainer over an empty bowl to drain the excess water (you can strain this for 6 hours or overnight in the freezer). Remaining yogurt should be thick.
Step 2

When the yoghurt is fully strained, remove the strainer and place the yoghurt into a bowl. Use a whisk to whisk it into a smooth consistency. It should be creamy and smooth in texture.
Step 3

Add icing sugar into the bowl and mix it well.
Step 4

Add cardamom powder to the bowl.
Step 5

Meanwhile in a small bowl, mix the saffron and warm milk. Add it very slowly to the yoghurt mixture.
Step 6

Add crushed pistachios into yogurt mix, leaving some aside for garnishing. Mix yoghurt and pistachios well.
