📝 Notes & Tips

  • You may add other fruits of your choice, but ensure they pair well with yogurt.

  • Avoid acidic fruits such as lemons, oranges, tangerines, and melons (watermelon, muskmelon, cantaloupe), as they do not combine well with curd.

  • For a lighter version, use skimmed milk and low-fat or skim-milk yogurt.

  • For extra richness, you may replace part of the milk with chilled water or add a spoon of fresh cream.
