Basundi is a dessert made of milk. It is more appropriately defined as thick condensed sweetened milk with dry fruits, cardamom, cloves and saffron add-ons. Isn’t it simple. :-) Now break down the definition into the recipe. This is even simpler. :-)

Ingredients:

  • Half liter milk (will serve 2 adults)
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 3 spoon of Cardamom powder
  • Cloves, raisins, cashew pieces, and almond pieces.
  • Half a spoon of ghee to fry all the dry fruits.

Dessert Recipe:

  • In a thick wide pan, pour milk and boil over low flame.
  • Keep stirring at short intervals while continuing to boil.
  • The milk will begin to thicken and stick to the walls of the pan. Scrap the vessel and add the thickened milk back to the boiling milk.
