I had a few friends coming over for lunch and card games one Saturday, and I decided to try my hand at Basundhi. It took time - but was actually quite easy to put together.
You need -
1l milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cardamom (powdered)
6 crushed almonds
3 strands of saffron
What you have to do -
- Boil the milk in a kadai until it reduces to half its quantity - you'll start seeing layers in the milk
- Add the sugar and mix until it dissolves
- Once it comes down to 1/4th it's quantity, add the cardamom and saffron
- When the mix is layered and coarse, take it off the flame and garnish with almonds
- Serve hot or cold!
Note: This is a very heavy dessert.
