Happy holi to all my readers. On holi, which is also called as festival of colour, i had made this super delicious colourful sweet called "strawberry basundi". Its recipe as follow:-
Ingredients:-
- 1 ltr Milk
- 5 tbs Sugar
- 1/4 tsp crushed cardamom powder
- 2 tsp sliced almonds
- 2 tsp sliced pistachios
- 1/2 cup Strawberry puree
- 1/4 cup finely chopped strawberries
- Ghee
Method:-
Step 1
Take a kadai (preferred nonstick one) and grease it properly with ghee so when you boil milk, it wont stick at the bottom. Then pour 1 ltr of milk in it and allow it to boil on medium high flame.
Step 2
Once milk comes to boil reduce the flame to low and keep it constant. When the milk starts froth or form a layer of cream or malai on top use spatula to scrap it's side. It is a continuous process so keep on simmering the milk, occasionally stir the milk so it wont get burnt and stick to the bottom of kadai.
Step 3
Approximately after 20-30 min milk get reduce and it colour changes from white to light brown. At this stage add 5 tbs of sugar, 1/4 tsp cardamom powder, sliced almonds, pistachios.
Step 4
Scrape small cream chunks collected on the side of pan into milk (this will make delicious small cream chunks). Turn off the flame and allow it to cool down to room temperature naturally.
Step 5
Add 1/2 cup of strawberry puree to basundi and 1/4 cup finely chopped strawberries , then give it a final mix. If you want to enjoy it chilled then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving.
