What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier, more luscious texture that holds the layers well.
- 2Whisk the turmeric into just a small portion of yogurt first to avoid streaks, then fold into the rest.
- 3For the best flavor, toast desiccated coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden.
- 4If your mango isn't perfectly ripe, toss the cubes with a tiny squeeze of lime juice to brighten the sweetness.
- 5Add the granola right before serving to keep it crunchy; leftovers will soften if stored with the yogurt.
- 6Make the turmeric yogurt base up to a day ahead and refrigerate for a faster assembly in the morning.
