sugar as per your taste approximately as we are adding condensed milk
condensed milk (milkmaid)1 can
saffron a pinch
nuts chopped and dry roasted especially unsalted pistasios nut-1 tbsp
cardomom powder-1/2 tsp


Method:
Boil the condensed milk and the sweetened milk(milk plus sugar) until it is thick and creamy. Make sure you mix it often to not to burn. When mixing make sure you dont mix the fat layer of milk. Just push it aside and add cardomam powder and mix to get that yummy taste. Once thickened add the saffron. Cool it. YOU can as such serve chilled with nuts on top with few strings of safflower or else if you have rasgulla add them without the water into the basundhi cream and serve chilled.
