Ingredients
- 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 100 grams Jaggery
- 200 grams Coconut yogurt
- 4 pieces Cardamom pods
- 5 strands Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Almonds (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by crushing the cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle until they form a coarse powder. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, pour the full-fat coconut milk and heat it over medium flame until it comes to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Lower the heat and add the jaggery, stirring continuously so that it completely dissolves into the coconut milk.
Step 4
Add the crushed cardamom and saffron strands to the saucepan, and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. This will let the flavors infuse well.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool down to a warm temperature, slightly above room temperature.
Step 6
Once cooled, add the coconut yogurt to the saucepan and whisk everything together until smooth and well mixed.
Step 7
Divide the mixture into small earthen or dessert bowls for individual servings.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and almonds on top of each serving for added texture and garnish.
Step 9
Cover the bowls with a clean cloth and let them sit in a warm area for 8-12 hours or until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 10
Once set, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 11
Serve the Vegan Mishti Doi chilled for the best flavor and experience.
