PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the creamiest result, use thick, full-fat yogurt. Greek yogurt or hung curd works wonderfully.
- 2Powdered sugar dissolves easily without thinning the yogurt. If using regular sugar, make sure it dissolves completely.
- 3Always use chilled curd to start with, as this helps maintain a thick consistency.
- 4For a flavor variation, add a pinch of nutmeg powder or a few drops of rose water.
- 5To make a quick version of Mishti Doi, use condensed milk instead of sugar and bake it in a water bath.
