Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Instant Nolen Gurer Mishti Doi:

For a smoother texture, strain your Greek yogurt through cheesecloth for 30 minutes before use.
If you can't find Nolen Gur, you can substitute with regular jaggery, but the flavor will be different.
Toasting the almonds before adding them enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
For a more intense saffron flavor, steep the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk or water for 10 minutes before adding to the yogurt.
