Method

Drain. Line a colander with three layers of muslin, set it over a bowl, add the 900 g yoghurt, cover and refrigerate for 8-12 h, until 300 ml of whey has dripped out.

Whey. Discard 180 ml whey from the drained liquid. Scatter 1 tsp gelatine over the 120 ml whey you kept, leave it 5 min, then microwave about 30 s, until it bubbles round the edge and the gelatine has melted.

Infuse. Stir 1½ tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp ground ginger and 1 tsp ground turmeric into the warm gelatine, cool for 5 min, then strain through a fine sieve, pressing the solids.
