Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Base:
In a mixing bowl, whisk the Hung Curd (Greek Yogurt) to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Once smooth, gently fold in your choice of fresh fruits (such as berries, mango, or banana slices) to infuse the parfait with natural sweetness. -
Assemble the Parfait:
Divide the yogurt-fruit mixture equally into two serving bowls. This forms the creamy base for your parfait. -
Add the Crunch:
Sprinkle the mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or a combination) and roughly chopped dates over one side of the yogurt mixture. These ingredients will add a satisfying texture and natural sweetness to balance the tang of the yogurt. -
Top with Crunchy Cereal:
Finish by topping your parfait with corn flakes. For an extra crunch and flavor, feel free to add more cereal or adjust the quantities based on your personal preference. -
Serve & Enjoy:
Serve immediately for a fresh, nutritious breakfast. This parfait can also be made in advance, but it is best enjoyed fresh so the corn flakes retain their crispiness.
