Basundi–Indian Dessert Recipe

 

This is a rich milk based dessert. This is usually prepared by reducing milk and garnishing with roughly chopped nuts. For this yummy dessert, you don't have to scrap the fat; instead you can collect the fat layer that forms on the top of the boiling milk. This gave a good texture and a delicious taste.
