The prime ingredient of this sweet is yoghurt and patience. Yes, you read correctly. Making this dessert is simple, but the procedure to make it needs some planning. First, we need absolutely fresh homemade yoghurt, which takes at least 4-5 hours to set. Once the yoghurt is set you need to hang it in a muslin cloth or you could place it in a sieve, and place the sieve over a bowl. Always place this in the refrigerator so the final product is not sour. What we need is a chunk of hung yoghurt.
