Ingredients

2

1 Liter Whole Milk

50 grams Mixed dry fruits

1 teaspoon Cardamom powder

60 grams Sugar

Tips

Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture and richer flavor.

Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences by adding more or less sugar.

Experiment with different combinations of dry fruits such as raisins, dates, or figs for varied flavors and textures.

Serve basundi as a standalone dessert or pair it with crispy puris for a traditional Indian treat.

Directions

In a heavy-bottomed pan, pour the milk and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Once the milk starts boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Continue simmering the milk until it reduces to about half its original volume, stirring frequently. This process may take approximately 30-35 minutes.

Add the chopped dry fruits and cardamom powder to the reduced milk, stirring well.

Cook the mixture for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the dry fruits to soften.

Finally, add sugar to the mixture and stir until it dissolves completely. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the basundi from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Transfer the cooled basundi to a serving bowl or individual dessert bowls.

Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra chopped dry fruits if desired.

Notes

Basundi is generally safe for consumption for most individuals.

However, those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies should avoid this recipe or use lactose-free milk substitutes.

Moderation is key, especially for individuals watching their sugar intake or those with diabetes.
