Basundi Recipe

I have been getting so many request to share this recipe in my blog. Basudi is nothing but a reduced milk with lots of sugar and nuts in it. The flavour comes from nuts and condensed milk. It makes a simple sweet for any special occasion. Valentine’s day is around the corner, i thought of sharing this awesome sweet.

Anyone can make this sweet, the one thing which you have to do is keep reducing the milk and keep stiring it often, so nothing catches in the bottom, because milk can catch so easily and if it do burn it makes the whole batch taste bad. So keep a eye on it..
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : 30 mins
Serves : 3 to 4

Ingredients:
Full Fat Milk – 1 liter

Pistachios – 1/4 cup chopped finely
Saffron a pinch
Method:
Take milk, sugar, condensed milk in a big pan and heat it up. Bring it to a boil, simmer the pan and cook on medium heat, keep stiring.
Now it will form crust on top, fold that into the milk mix. 
keep cooking till it gets thick.
Take it off the heat and add all the other ingredients. mix well.
Pour into a bowl and chill.

Notes:
1)If it gets very thick after chilling, add some more milk and mix well.

Pictorial:

    I am in your blog most of the time nowadays.. All pictures wrt each cooking is fantabulous.
    Btw, one doubt wrt measurement. One cup of condensed milk which you used means 200 ml ?

    @Anonymousyou have to keep boiling and cooking the milk for quite some time. This makes it reduce and get thick
