Notes

  • While Cooking basundi, scraping the sides of the vessel is important as it adds malaidar texture.
  • You can mix in the kesar (saffron) while reducing the milk if you like the enriched flavour of saffron. If you are one of those who likes just a little hint of saffron, sprinkle it on top when it is ready.
  • You can use dry fruits of your choice as this basic flavour blends well with any fruit or dry fruits.
  • Any dish with milk needs to be given the required attention and constant stirring or else the milk burns.
