There are days, where I just do not feel like standing in front of a stove and cooking.

Sometimes there are enough left overs from the day before for everyone to eat, but the problem comes when it is a sweet tea time treat that everyone wants at 3 in the afternoon.

There is never any left overs of sweet things, which means that I really do have to make something.

Most times I can get away with store bought biscuits once or twice in the month a third attempt at getting my family to eat something that is not homemade is like asking them to dig from here to China…lol…

When I am really really lazy I always turn to my old faithful dessert, it is quick and easy to make and you can have a treat in under 30 minutes.

This is one of Madhur Jaffrey’s receipes, she got it from Mallika Basu in London.

Ingredients:

• 500ml plain yoghurt
• 1 x can condense milk.
• 1 x tsp cardamom powder.
• 12 x strands of saffron soaked in 2 x tbsp. warm milk.

Method:

• Pour the yoghurt into a bowl add the condense milk and whisk until well combined.
• Add the cardamom powder and whisk again.
• Pour the mixture evenly into 6 greased ramekins, about ¾ of the way up.
• Place the ramekins in a baking dish.
• Pour boiling water into the dish until the water reaches halfway up the ramekins, thus creating a water bath for the ramekins.
• Pop into a preheated oven and bake at 190 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Carefully remove from the oven and evenly spread the milk mixture over the top of each ramekin.
• Pop back into the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow to cool to room temperature before enjoying.
