Cardamom pwd          - ¼ tsp
Lemon juice                - 2-3ndrops
Sugar                           - to taste(5tsp)
Condensed milk         - 5 tsp

Method:

• Make sure the pan is thick bottomed, as we’re going to reduce the milk to half its content.
• Continuously scrap the sides and bottom of the pan to ensure the milk doesn’t stick to the pan.
• Stir the milk continuously.
• Once the milk is reduced to half its consistency, add few shreds of saffron.
• This impacts rich color & flavor to basundi.
• Add Condensed milk and stir well
• Slice cashew & almonds to fine pieces.
• Add this nuts to the thick milk mixture.Stir well.
• Further cook for 2 to 3 mins.add cardamom pwd. (  enhances rich flavor )
• Keep cooking this on low flame.
• To get the grainy texture of basundi,  add 2 to 3 drops of fresh lime juice. ( be cautious   too much drops of lime juice,  curdles milk…we  just need grainy texture )
• Mix it well.Now you can see milk is attaining grainy consistency.
• Add sugar and mix well .
•  Turn off the flame.

Now delicious Basundi is ready.  ( It will be thicker when cools )
