ABOUT Masala Chai Bhapa Doi or Spiced Tea Flavored Steamed Yogurt RECIPE

The flavorings of the bhapa doi varies and can be customized by using sliced almonds, chopped pistachios, saffron, raisins, chocolate chips, fruits etc. I have added some masala tea powder to the simple bhapa doi or steamed yogurt. After addition, the flavor of the simple bhapa doi really reaches to another level. This masala bhapa doi is so smooth and simply melted in mouth. I have preferred small earthen molds to make this fusion bengali dessert, but you can use any molds. This recipe is called for hung curd or Greek yogurt. If you are using regular yogurt then make sure that, it is drained of most of the liquid. Instead of regular yogurt, Greek yogurt is naturally thick. So it is best suited and well combined easily with the condensed milk. The masala steamed yogurt is best enjoyed as chilled straight out of the refrigerator. This is a festive dessert that you can make in a hurry as well.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Milk 1 cup
Condensed milk 1 cup
Greek yogurt / hung curd 1 cup
Cardamom powder ¼ teaspoon
Cinnamon powder ¼ teaspoon
Black pepper powder ¼ teaspoon
Clove powder ¼ teaspoon
Nutmeg powder ¼ teaspoon
Ghee / oil For greasing

Instructions

First grease the ramekins or earthen wares or any molds of choice (in which the yogurt is supposed to be steamed) with ghee or oil.
In a mixing bowl, take the hung curd and condensed milk.
Whisk well until a smooth texture.
Next add milk and whisk again till some froths appear.
Then add all powders and give a quick stir again.
Meanwhile turn on the steamer to bring the water boiling.
Next pour the yogurt mixture in the greased molds and cover those molds with aluminium foil.
When the water comes to a rolling boil, place all the molds in steamer and steam for 15 minutes or until a skewer or knife inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the steamer and let all the molds cool completely.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon powder on top of each steamed yogurt mold.
This step is completely optional, since I like the cinnamon flavor so added a bit more.
Place all molds in refrigerator for at least 2 hours and then serve it chilled !
