Quick Basundi - Indian Dessert
Basundi is a traditional Indian dessert!
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz Evaporated milk
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 2 tbsp Milk powder
- 1 tbsp Crushed Pistachios, almonds, cashews
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
- 6-7 Saffron strands
Instructions
- Add milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a heavy bottomed wide pan and keep it on a low flame.
- Keep on stirring the mixture every 4-5 minutes to avoid burning of the milk. Repeat this for about 25 minutes.
- Add the milk powder to the milk mixture. Mix it with the help of a whisk.
- Cook it for about 5-10 minutes more and you will find the milk is thickened.
- At this point, you can check the sweetness of the basundi. If it is too sweet for you then add some more milk and cook for 5-10 minutes more.
- Once it reaches desired thickness, add crushed/chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and saffron strands.
- Serve it warm or chilled and garnish with few chopped nuts.
Notes
- Use a wide steel pan for making the basundi faster and to give it a good color.
- Keep on stirring in between so milk will not burn.
