Basundi Recipe

3. Scrap the edges of milk while cooking and stirring with spatula in between to remove thickened milk from sides of pan and mix it. Cook it more if you want more thicker consistency.
4. Then add sugar and cook it again another 40-45 mins till all milk mixture reduce into the half and become thick.
5. Now add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder. sliced almonds, cashew, and cook it for 7-8 mins on low flame.
