Basundi is a rich and creamy Indian dessert made with thickened milk, sugar, and flavored with cardamom and saffron. It is prepared by simmering milk for a long time until it reduces to a thick consistency, resulting in a luscious and sweet dessert. The aromatic flavors of cardamom and the vibrant color of saffron add a delightful touch to the dish. Basundi is often garnished with nuts like almonds and pistachios, making it a perfect treat for special occasions or festivals.
