Non-fat Yogurt Mango Parfait

Yogurt, which is also an Indian staple, is loaded with calcium, protein & vitamins. It’s nutritious & filled with health benefits. In India it's also believed that consuming yogurt drinks on hot summer days will cool your body temps. 
This recipe is made of non-fat yogurt, which is also believed that consuming a non-fat yogurt will help in your weight loss. So with this little intro I'm getting to the recipe, which I'm here to share.


Ingredients 
Serves:2
2 Ripe mangos pulp
2 Cups non-fat yogurt 
2 Tbs sliced almonds
Few mango pieces for garnish


Arranging parfait is very easy. In first step take a bowl or a glass first lay the mango pulp as base then on top off it with yogurt. Sprinkle few almonds, which will give a nice crunch for the yogurt & repeat the process till the bowl or glass filled.




Once you have arranged your parfait add the mango pieces & sprinkle the almonds on top. Now refrigerate it & serve it chill. 


Note:
For full flavor you can replace non-fat with a full fat yogurt.

Mean while fry paneer in a nonstick pan till lite crisp (that way you don't have to add some more oil to it).Now remove the lid of cooker & add paneer & sugar to it. Cook for 2 mins on low heat & switch off heat.
