Rekha's 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.
