If you have a yogurt strainer, use that - else take a muslin cloth and place it on a pot. tip in the yogurt, gather the cloth and tie a knot, keeping the yogurt in (preferably;) )
-
You basically need to strain the whey from the yogurt.. so find a place to hang the cloth and place a bowl underneath to allow for the whey to collect. If you would rather keep this contraption in the fridge, you may do so.. at your own risk - hey its your own fridge
-
after a few hours, when you don't see any more whey dripping from the cloth, you are ready to move to the next level.
-
Take a spoonful of sugar and the saffron and grind them together. Keep aside.
-
Put the strained yogurt in a bowl and whisk it, preferably with a paddle whisk and add in half a cup of sugar. Blend. Taste. Now gradually add in more sugar. The rule of the thumb is to add half the sugar of the total weight of drained yogurt.. but I tend to use lesser.
-
Once you have achieved the sugar level you desire, add in the sugar saffron mix, the cardamom and blend it. Add in the pistachios, i add them lightly toasted.
