Basundhi (Indian dessert)

Basundhi is a popular Indian dessert made with milk.  This is prepared by boiling the milk and wait till the milk reduces to 50%.  Though this is a time consuming recipe, it doesn't require much effort.  It is a rich creamy dessert. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Milk - 5-6 cups
Cardamom -5
Sugar - 1 cup (you can adjust)
Pistachios/Almonds - 4-5 tbsp 

Method

Boil the milk in a vessel on low flame and stir the milk continuously.   When the milk reduces by 25%, you can add the sugar.  You will see layers of cream on the top.  Collect the cream layers and set them aside.

You have to keep stirring the milk by pushing the layers to the side.  When the milk is reduced by 50-60 %, add the cream layers and crushed cardamoms and mix them gently.

Garnish the dessert with pistachios/Almonds and a little saffron on top.  Refrigerate the dessert and serve it chilled
