Ingredients

1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (you can use hung yogurt too)
3 Tbsp Chia seeds

1/3 cup Fresh strawberry puree (keep it a bit chunky if you prefer)
3-4 Tbsp Maple syrup or honey

1 tsp Rose water
Strawberries, chopped into small pieces

Chopped pistachio, popped amaranth, pumpkin seeds for topping
Dried rose petals

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and chia seeds. Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken.

Step 2: The next morning, stir in the fresh strawberry puree, rose water, and maple syrup. Mix well and taste, adjusting the sweetness and rose flavor as desired.
Step 3: Spoon the pudding into serving glasses. Top with chopped strawberries, pistachios, popped amaranth, pumpkin seeds, and a sprinkle of dried rose petals. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup as the sweetener.

Keep the strawberry puree chunky if you prefer more texture in your pudding.
Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.
Try substituting rose water with orange blossom water for a different floral note.

Storage

Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the base in advance and add toppings just before serving. If the pudding thickens too much after chilling, stir in a little milk to loosen the texture.
