Indian Saffron Yoghurt, also known as “Kesar Dahi,” is a delightful and aromatic dessert that combines saffron’s richness with yoghurt’s creamy goodness. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare this exquisite treat:

Ingredients:

2 cups plain yoghurt (preferably full-fat)
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
2 tablespoons warm milk
1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (like almonds or pistachios) for garnish

Instructions:

Soak the saffron threads in warm milk for about 10 minutes. This helps release the colour and flavour of the saffron.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yoghurt and sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Pour the saffron-infused milk into the yoghurt mixture. Add the cardamom powder and mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the saffron yoghurt for at least 1-2 hours. Chilling allows the flavours to meld together beautifully.
Before serving, stir the yoghurt a little. Spoon it into serving bowls and garnish with chopped nuts for an added crunch.
