Strawberry Basundi

A very tasty and yummy dessert. Strawberry is one of the most beautiful looking and delicious fruits. Unfortunately seasonal, though now days they are made available through out the year with the use of modern technology.

Strawberry crush used in the recipe, helps anyone to prepare this recipe anytime of the year.

It’s an amazingly fantabulous dessert. Enjoy!!

Ingredients-

Milk – 1 liter
Sugar – ½ cup
Strawberry Crush – 5- 6 tablespoons
Shriveled Almonds- 4 tablespoons
Saffron Strands – 3-4

Procedure –

  • Boil milk in a pan and then reduce the flame. One needs to keep stirring the milk while making basundi or it will spill, but I place an inverted saucer or a small plate in the pan and then let the milk reduce to half or till the desired consistency.
  • Now once the milk is thickened to a desired consistency add the sugar and shriveled almonds. Boil till the sugar dissolves.
  • Let the basundi cool down completely.
  • Once cooled add the strawberry crush, saffron strands and mix well.
  • Serve chilled.

Tips –

Always add the strawberry crush only when the basundi cools down. Otherwise the milk will curdle.
Reduce the amount of sugar according to own preferences.
Placing an inverted saucer or and inverted small plate will not allow the milk to rise and spill. You need not keep stirring the milk continuously. This gives you time to watch some TV!! ;)
