To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have basundi -with condensed milk using 6 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Basundi -with condensed milk:
  1. Take 11/2 litre full fat milk
  2. Take 3/4 cup sugar (reduce qty if you are using condensed milk also)
  3. Prepare 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almond,pista,cashew)
  4. Make ready 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

The amount of milk to be added depends on the sweetness of the condensed milk. Traditionally basundi is made by simmering full fat milk for a long time until the milk reduces to almost half the original quantity.

Steps to make Basundi -with condensed milk:
  1. In a heavy bottomed pan, add milk and bring it to a boil. As it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring and keep cooking till it gets half quantity. Do stir every 2-3 minutes and also scrap the sides and bottom of the pan to avoid scorching.
  2. While simmering, you will see a thin film of malai at the surface. Do mix as you stir. It gives grainy texture in the basundi. Now the milk is half quantity, it took me 25 minutes.
  3. Add condensed milk and keep it simmer for 5 more mins.
  4. Now add sugar and let it dissolve completely. Then add chopped nuts,cardamom powder and saffron.
  5. Mix and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Saffron will infuse its color, basundi will be thick, yet runny consistency. Turn off the stove. This can be served warm, room temperature or chilled. But I personally like it when served chilled. Keep it in fridge overnight, serve chilled the next day 😋😋
