Directions
Kesar Basundi is a sweet and luscious traditional Indian sweet that is usually served in our Gujarati family during festivals and occasions. It is prepared by boiling milk and reducing it to half and sweetening it with sugar. The flavors are further enhanced with cardamom powder and nutmeg powder (optional). There are many variations to this sweet. This is a basic and traditional recipe of Basundi which is infused with saffron and garnished with Almonds.
When it comes to Traditional Indian sweets there are no shortcuts. It may be little time consuming but worth the wait and effort. As you all may know I have a weakness for Indian Sweets. They make me drool all the time and being a Gujarati we always feast on this Kesar Basundi. Finally, I have learned to make it at home and the recipe is worth the time.
