Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 L Milk
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• A few strands Saffron (Kesar)
• 1/2 cup Almonds (blanched and peeled)

How to make Basoondi:

Take the almonds, sparing a few for garnishing, and grind into a smooth paste.
Take the remaining almonds and pistachios and slice them neatly.
In a heavy bottomed pan, boil the milk and then simmer it on low heat stirring continuously till it thickens.
Take the almond paste and mix it with half cup of milk and add it to the thickened milk and mix well.
Add sugar and saffron to the milk and cook till sugar is dissolved.
Chill and serve garnished with sliced almonds, pistachios and chironji.
