Keep stirring while heating to avoid the milk from scorching at the bottom of the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 1 to 1-\u00bd hours until it is reduced to more than half and is thickened and creamy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir very frequently while cooking. Don\u2019t let cream (malai) layer form on top of the milk for a creamy basundi.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep scraping the sides of the pan regularly and stir the milk solids back into the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The consistency of basundi is like a thin custard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 I suggest making it while you are doing other cooking. It will cook on the side and you will not have to stand to stir it separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the milk is thick and creamy, add sugar, nutmeg, and cardamom to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sugar is dissolved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for sugar and add more if required. Cook for another minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in chironji and slivered nuts (I used a mix of almonds, cashew nuts, and pistachios).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the pan from heat and cover it with a lid to avoid the formation of cream on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 If you like your basundi very creamy and smooth, just pass it through a fine-mesh strainer before adding chironji and nuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer the basundi in serving cups or bowls and garnish with more slivered nuts and dry rose petals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve hot, warm, or chilled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients Instructions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[158,225],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-desserts-flavorful-recipes","category-desserts-dessert-recipes-app"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Indian-Milk-Dessert.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3953"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3955,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3953\/revisions\/3955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
