Basundi/Milk Pudding

Ingredients:

• Milk: 1 liter (Full Fat Milk will be better)
• Sugar: 1/2cup (as per your taste)
• Cardamom: 3
• Almond: 6
• Cashew nuts: 4
• Pista: 4
• Almond: 2 to garnish (optional)
  
• Pista: 3 to garnish (optional)
• Saffron: 3 strings (optional)

I like to make this with milk powder instead of milk, so that I can add more milk powder to get the required thickness. It also reduces my cooking time. 

Method:

• Coarsely powder Almond, cashew nuts & pista.
• Boil the milk in a thick bottom pan with medium flame.
• Add almond powder, cashew nut powder & pista powder.
• Keep stirring in between.

Note: Adding almond powder makes milk thick & also gives good taste.

• Stir till milk reduces to half or becomes thick enough.
• Add sugar, saffron & stir for 5 more minutes.
• Coarsely grind cardamom & add to milk.   
• Mix well & switch of the stove.
• Let it cool.
• Garnish with almond & pista.( You can add any dry fruits)
• Refrigerate & Serve it chilled. 

Note: Basundi will be pouring consistency when it is hot. It gets thick when it cools down.
