As the summer sun shines brightly, there’s nothing quite like a refreshing and delicious yogurt fruit dip to accompany your favorite fruits. I have been enjoying this recipe for years, so it is time to share it. This delightful fruit dip is made with hung yogurt, cardamom powder, grated nutmeg, saffron, and brown sugar. This dip is not only easy to make but also packed with flavors that will elevate your fruit platter to a whole new level.

Hung Yogurt: Hung yogurt is simply yogurt that has been strained to remove its whey, resulting in a thicker and creamier texture. It’s a fantastic base for dips as it holds its shape and has a rich, tangy flavor.

Cardamom Powder: Cardamom is a spice that adds a warm, aromatic flavor to the dip. You can add a few whole seeds too for and intense crunchy bite.

Grated Nutmeg: Nutmeg has a sweet and nutty flavor. A little goes a long way, so just a pinch will do.

Saffron: Saffron is known for its vibrant color and unique flavor. It adds a touch of luxury to the dip and gives it a beautiful golden hue.

Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds some sweetness and a subtle molasses flavor that balances the tanginess of the yogurt and the warmth of the spices. Substitute with Honey if you want to avoid sugar.
