Saffron Makhania Lassi is typically served in Jodhpur – sometimes in other parts of Rajahstan. It is very rich and deliciously creamy. If you want to serve your guests something special – you won’t disappoint with this sweet indulgence!

What you need

Serves 5

• 1/2 cup of hot milk
• 1/4 g saffron
• 1 l of plain yoghurt
• 200g sugar
• 1 Tbsp green cardamom powder
• 150g of nuts (mix of: cashew nuts, raisins, almonds)
• 150g fresh double cream
• optional: 100g of unsalted butter

Preparation

Heat up the milk and add the saffron. Cook for 15-20 minutes. In a separate bowl, add the yoghurt. Mix the sugar and cardamom into the yoghurt – stir & add the saffron milk while stirring continuously until the yoghurt is very soft in consistency. In a separate bowl mix the nut mix with the double cream. Now mix the nuts into the yoghurt mixture – mix together. Optionally, mix in some butter. Then chill in the fridge for a at least 1 hour.

Enjoy!
