Ingredients

  • 750-ml container 2% natural vanilla-flavoured yogurt, no gelatin

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp maple syrup, or honey

  • 6 red pears, or a mix of 3 pairs and 3 apples

Instructions

  • To thicken yogourt, line a sieve with a piece of cheesecloth or thick paper towels folded into 2 layers. Place over a bowl. Put yogourt on top of cheesecloth. Cover and leave at room temperature until most of liquid has drained and yogourt is thick, at least 3 hours, or overnight if refrigerated. Scrape yogourt into a bowl. Discard liquid.

  • Stir garam masala into yogourt. Taste and add maple syrup. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to a day. Just before serving, slice unpeeled pears into wedges. Serve yogourt sauce alongside for dipping.
