Basundi - Thickened Sweetened Milk with Nuts
Basundi is a sweet thickened milk flavored with cardamom, saffron and nuts. It's a popular Gujarati dessert that is primarily made on special occasions and festivities. People from Northern parts of India can relate this delicious sweet to the much famous Rabri, only difference being the latter one much thicker and creamier in consistency. I had been thinking of trying this recipe for quite long, and the eve of Karva Chauth came as a perfect occasion. Usually, I make kheer and feniya for SARGI (the pre-fasting meal savored before the sun-rise on the day of Karva Chauth), this time I skipped making kheer and made this easy-peasy yet so delightful and flavorful Basundi. Trust me, it came out as a wonderful sweet treat ever. Please scroll down below for the recipe.
