| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 quart | Heavy whipping cream |
| 1 can | Evaporated milk |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 6 slice | Bread |
| 3 strands | Saffron (a pinch) |
| 1 cup | Coarsely ground nuts(cashew,almonds,pista) |
Instructions
Take a heavy bottomed pan.
Add the heavy whipping cream and the evaporated milk to the pan
Remove the crust from the bread slices and cut the bread slices into small squares
when the milk comes to a boil add the bread and keep on medium flame
let the bread cook well and it needs to literally get mashed up.It shouldnt look like bread has been added.
At that stage add the sugar
keep mixing once in a while to avoid sticking at the bottom.
Since we have added heavy whipping cream and evaporated milk the mixture will thicken quickly. Add the saffrom strands and let it cook till the thickness of condensed milk is achieved.
Add the coarsely ground nuts
Remove from stove and cool it.
Put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Do not let it freeze.Just the thickness will be achieved quickly by putting in the freezer.
Then shift it to the refrigerator.
Serve cold.
The quantity is adequate to serve 10 people.

I tried today but it taste like bread basunthi.. Just i add very little bread. It doesnt taste like restaurant basunthi .. Can u help me to get ..
where to buy heavy whipping cream and evaporated milk it is not same of ordinary milk packets
Your Basundhi is definitely innovative. I made this with evaporated skim milk and the outcome was really good.
Can you please tell approximately how long you simmered the milk mixture before and after adding the sugar? Just to get an idea. Would really like to try it.
Thanks!

Plz Let me know whether heavy whipping cream is the same one which we use for gravies and also about evaporated milk.
Heavy whipping cream is different from the fresh cream we use for gravies. We can get it in grocery stores. Also evaporated milk is different.It comes in a small tin.
