Basundi is an Indian milk based sweet which is more popular in Gujarat, Maharastra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Basundi is a rich, creamy dessert which is prepared by boiling and reducing milk and flavoured with dryfruits and spices.
Basundi is prepared in Hindu festival and occasions. Sitafal (custard apple)basundi and angoori basundi is popular variation of this blissful dessert.
Traditional Basundi recipe is prepared by simmering whole full cream milk on a low heat till it becomes thick and reduced in quantity. Though in modern recipe we can use condensed milk to reduce time of preparation but rich in taste. Basundi can be served hot, warm or chilled.
