Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Spoon the yoghurt into a mixing bowl. Combine well with
    the caster sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
    Using a food processor, chop half of the pistachios for about 40 seconds.

    and remove the processor blade. Combine the chopped
    pistachios with the remaining whole pistachios and
    set aside.

    Evenly divide the watermelon cubes between four serving
    bowls. Sprinkle half a teaspoon of rosewater over each
    bowl. Then, using a tablespoon, evenly dollop on the vanilla yoghurt mixture.

    Garnish with the chopped and whole pistachios, a few mint
    leaves and a tuft of Persian fairy floss. Serve immediately.
