Basundi or sweetened milk is a very popular Maharashtrian sweet dish.It is a dense sweetened paste made by boiling milk on low heat until the milk is reduced by half.It is mostly served with puris. Basundi-puri combo tasts 2 good.I had made this on raksha bandhan.
When the milk reduces to half the quantity and forms a thick paste add pistachio powder and stir.Take out from heat, add cardamom and almonds.
Serve hot or cold with hot puris.Chilled Basundi tastes good .
