Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Buffalo milk
- 1 liter
- Sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Cardamom powder
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Saffron strands
- a pinch
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the buffalo milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow the milk to simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Then, remove it from heat and let it cool to room temperature (around 100°F or 38°C).
- Once the milk has cooled, stir in the sugar until fully dissolved. Then, add the cardamom powder and saffron strands, mixing well to combine.
- Cover the pot with a clean cloth or lid and place it in a warm, draft-free area. Let it sit undisturbed for 6-8 hours, or until the yogurt has set and has a thick, creamy texture.
- After the yogurt has set, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
- To serve, scoop the chilled Juju Dhau into individual bowls or traditional clay pots. Garnish with a few saffron strands for an elegant touch.
