Mishti Doi

Mishti Doi

This is a bengali dessert. Very much relished in summers.

This is actually a sweetened Yogurt.

Ingredients:

Full Cream Milk  : 1ltr
Sugar : 8 tbsp
Yogurt (Dahi): 1 tbsp

Method

Pour the milk in a thick bottom vessel and boil.

As it starts boiling add half  of sugar and keep on simmering till the volume is reduced to little less than half.

Take the remaining sugar with 2 tbsp of water and heat till the sugar melts and attains a golden brown color.
This is carmelizing the sugar.

Gradually add the molten sugar over the milk and boil for another 15 minutes over low flame.

Take out of flame and let it become lukewarm.

Pour the milk over the earthen pot and add the yogurt.

Keep the pot in a cool dry place, and let the yogurt set over night.

Refrigerate the set dahi and serve as a dessert .

I sprinkled sliced almonds over Misthi Doi.
