Sphurti Basundi (dessert)

Sphurti Basundi is an Indian dessert. It is a dense sweetened paste made by boiling milk on low heat until the milk is reduced by half.
Heavy cream may be added during the boiling process to hasten the thickening process. Once reduced, a little sugar, cardamom, and/or saffron are added. Basundi is served chilled, often garnished with slices of almonds and pistachios.
