Do note that using sour curd need addition of milk and more sugar. I do not prefer the combination of curd and milk together. So I ensure to use fresh curd. 2) Whisk it well until smooth.

You can also use a immersion blender or mixing rod. 3) Next add 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar, 1pinch of saffron strands or 1 teaspoon rosewater . If you do not have saffron strands or rose water, simply skip both. 4) Add 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cardamom power.
