Everyone says it’s a festival sweet but I make it very often. It takes extra time to cook but it’s all worth when you see your family enjoying it.
Basundi Recipe:
This is very rich and thick creamy milk with chopped pistachios and almonds, flavoured with saffron and cardamom. Serve warm or cold for dessert.
Ingredients
-
Milk – 1 litre
-
Sugar – ¼ cup
-
Almond – 5 to 6 chopped
-
Pistachios – 5 to 6 chopped
-
Cardamom powder – a pinch
-
Saffron – ¼ tsp
Method
-
Take heavy bottom pan, add milk in the pan and bring it to boil which takes 5 to 6 mins.
-
Once milk is boiled, reduce the flame and cook on slow flame for 20 to 25 mins (If you want thicker consistency then cook for little longer).
-
While the milk is cooking on low flame, add in almonds and pistachios.
-
Add in sugar, cardamom powder and saffron (Don’t forget to scrape the sides of the pan to get thicker consistency).
-
Don’t leave the pan while cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping the sides are important.
-
Cook until you reach desired thickness.
-
Serve warm or hot with extra nuts on tops.
Tips and variations
