Basundi Recipe

Basundi Recipe

Basundi is an Indian sweet. Basundi is popular in Western Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. It is a sweetened thick milk dessert made by boiling milk on low heat until the milk is reduced by half.

It is very similar to north Indian sweet dish rabadi but slightly lighter version rabadi is thicker in texture. This slow cooked sweet dish is very popular during Navratri, Shraddha paksha, also occasionally made for guest during festival for lunch or dinner as a sweet dish.

In Gujarat, Maharashtra and many other Indian states, it is generally served with fried whole white puri as a sweet accompaniment to meal, but it can be enjoyed anytime you like it.

• 2 Litter Full Fat Milk
• ½ cup Sugar
• ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
• ¼ tsp Nutmeg Powder
• ¼ cup Sliced Almond and Cashews
For Garnishing

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.
6. Basundi is ready, let it cool down then garnish it with saffron strands, sliced almond and pistachios and enjoy. You can also store in refrigerator and serve chilled.

Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropic Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropical cocktail drink for hot summer days. It can be served with ice, lemon and mint leaves to make refreshing drink.

It goes well with any additions to change it to more complex cocktail.
