Step by step

1. In a thin white cloth hang the curd firstly for 2- 4 hours so that excess water drains. Secondly, in a mixing bowl, take ½ cup hung curd, add 2 drops rose essence, cardamom powder, 3 tablespoon powdered sugar candy or sugar. Mix well furthermore with a whisk until smooth.

Serve this rich and flavorful dessert always cold. It was like eating sweet lassi in ice cream form for me , coz of the cardamom, rose essence may be.
