Cooking Time: 
Makes 4 servings


Ingredients

1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh figs (anjeer)
4 cups low-fat milk
(99.7% fat-free , readily
available in the market)
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornflour dissolved in
1 tbsp low-fat milk
(99.7% fat-free , readily
available in the market)
1/2 cup skim milk powder
1 tbsp sugar substitute

For The Garnish
4 fresh fig slices

Method
  1. Refrigerate the fig pieces to chill.
  2. Pour the milk into a broad non-stick pan and bring to boil.
  3. Lower the flame and simmer on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring continuously.
  4. Add the lemon juice drop by drop to the milk stirring continuously. You will see tiny curdled particles, which are required for the grainy texture of basundi.
  5. Add the cornflour mixture, milk powder and sugar substitute, mix well and simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Cool and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Add the fig pieces to the thickened milk and mix well. Serve chilled garnished with fig slices.

Handy tip:

  1. Do not add the lemon juice all at once, if you do so the milk may curdle completely, you will get bigger curdled particles, which is not desirable.
