    About this recipe

    I made this delicious dessert on the occasion of Janmashtami. Thought of celebrating Janmashtami with this popular milk based dessert Basundi. To make this dessert boiled milk is kept on a low flame till it reduces to half the quantity. Once it thickens, add sugar, flavour with cardamom ,nutmeg , saffron strands and garnish with nuts.

    Though it's time consuming to condense the milk, there is no much involvement required as you can keep the milk for simmering and meanwhile you can do other work. But It's important to stir and scrape the sides of the milk pot in between and also take care not to scorch the milk.

    There is one more easier version where condensed milk is mixed with milk to make this dessert. But here I have not used any readymade condensed milk instead I have used full fat milk and then condensed. A flavorful milk dessert will be ready which can be served chilled all alone or hot/warm if serving with poori.
