ABOUT Rose Basundi RECIPE

Basundi is a popular Indian dessert made by reducing milk to a creamy texture. It is usually flavoured with cardamoms, saffron and dry fruits. Rose Basundi is a variation to the traditional version where the fragrance of rose gives it a soft and subtle flavour. This combined with the sweet essence of coconut milk makes it a must-try for all dessert lovers.

Full Fat Milk 1 1/2 Litres
Coconut Milk 1/2 Litre
Sugar 5 Tbsp
Rose Syrup 2 Tbsp
Rose Water (Gulab jal) 2 Tsp

Instructions

Combine both the milk and boil till it is reduced to half. Keep stirring occasionally scraping the sides of the vessel. Ensure that the milk does not spill out.
Add sugar, rose syrup and pink colour and continue boiling the milk scraping the sides till it reaches a thick consistency.
Make sure you do not reduce the milk too much because it will thicken automatically when cooled.
Add the Rose Water and stir. Turn off the gas and let it cool at room temperature.
Refrigerate and serve chilled.
