Ingredients:

500gm Greek style Yoghurt or a Natural set Yoghurt
100 gm Castor sugar ( or to your taste )
pinch of Nutmeg powder
couple of Cardamom ground into powder
few strands of Saffron

Accessories:
Muslin cloth ( usually comes in a large square shape )
Long and thick Thread for hanging

Procedure:

1. Pour the yoghurt into a double layered Muslin cloth in the center and lift all the four corners and tie them together tightly.
2. Tie this bundle onto a Kitchen Tap and leave it hanging overnight or while you leave home for work in the morning. In short for around 8 hours.
3. You can leave a container below this to collect the whey water and reuse it or just let it go. ( I use it while kneading a Chapati dough  sometimes ).
4. After 8 hours, give a gentle press on the bundle to remove remaining water for the last time and untie the bundle.
5. Scrap and remove all the yoghurt and shift into a bowl.
6. Add Sugar and give a nice mix.
7. Add cardamon powder,Nutmeg powder and Saffron.
8. Mix well, taste if all OK and ready to serve.

See how Easy!!
