Ingredients

• 1 liter Full-fat milk
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Stevia
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 pinch Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Warm milk
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Almonds, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm milk and set aside.

Step 2

Pour the full-fat milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.

Step 3

Once the milk reaches a boil, lower the heat and continue to simmer, stirring often, until it reduces to about half its original volume. This should take approximately 45-50 minutes.

Step 4

Add the stevia to the reduced milk and stir well until it is completely dissolved.

Step 5

Add the cardamom powder and the saffron-infused milk to the mixture, stirring to combine. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.

Step 6

Allow the milk to cool slightly until it's warm but not hot. Test to ensure it's at a temperature that won't kill the yogurt cultures (lukewarm).

Step 7

Mix the Greek yogurt into the warm milk thoroughly. Ensure the yogurt is fully incorporated to avoid lumps.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into individual serving containers or a large earthen pot for a traditional touch.

Step 9

Cover the containers and let the mixture set in a warm place for 6-8 hours or until it has thickened and set like custard.

Step 10

Once set, refrigerate the Mishti Doi for at least 2-3 hours before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds before serving for an authentic presentation.
