Mishti Doi



Mishti Doi Recipe


 












Ingredients:-
Milk -2 cups
Curd (dahi) -3 to 4 tbsp
Sugar -1 cup
Earthen pots (handi) for dahi-making

How to make Mishti Doi:-

  • In a kadhai, boil the milk on a medium flame till it has reduced to half its original volume.
  • Keep stirring intermittently to prevent the milk from scorching. Once done, let the milk cool to a lukewarm temperature.
  • Meanwhile, put the sugar in a separate pan and heat it over a low flame till it has melted. Allow the sugar to turn brown in color.
  • Next, add the reduced milk to this caramelized sugar and mix well till they have blended.
  • Then, add some dahi to the mixture (not in boiling milk) and stir gently to mix.
  • Next, pour this mix into a handi and keep in a warm, dark spot for the Mishti Doi to set.
  • When the Mishti Doi has set (it takes a few hours), refrigerate it for a few hours and then serve.
