Flavoured Yoghurt (Desi Style)

Wanna rustle up a quick dessert for your family in 10 min ? Then this one’s for you 🙂 The story goes thus, I had a huge can of yoghurt in my fridge, and the expiry date was tomorrow :O What to do with so much yoghurt was a big question 😦 Na.. not shrikhand for me, I belong to a lazy category, so did not want any hassles 😉 I want something which can be done in a jiffy.. Luckily had some condensed milk too 😉 So here it is, my experimental version of yoghurt, Hope you guys like it 😉

Flavoured Yoghurt

Ingredients

• Yoghurt (Full cream) – 2 cups
• Condensed milk – 1/2 cup (check according to your sweetness level)
• Chopped nuts – 3 tbsp
• Saffron (soaked in milk) – a few strands
• Cardamom powder (Elaichi) – 2 tsp

Method

• In a mixing bowl, take the yoghurt and whisk lightly with a balloon whisk, so that its creamy and smooth in  texture, Do not overdo it
• Now add the condensed milk slowly, little by little, and keep folding it into the yoghurt gently.
• Mix in the saffron, cardamom powder and chopped nuts. Serve chilled.

Note : For best results, refrigerate for an hour before serving

Lahsun and Rice Thepla

I love Gujarathi food !! Been eating it since childhood, as some of our family friends were gujarathi’s, I find all their dishes very very delicious !! And Thepla is my all time favorite. The best part is you don’t need anything to go with it, you can have it as it is, This is a twisted version of thepla which uses rice, I decided to make it since I had some leftover rice with me, And the quantity was perfect to make this 🙂 Go on and try this, Healthy and delicious !!
