Directions
Reduce the heat to medium low and let it simmer (stirring occasionally) for about one and half hour or until the mixture is reduced to half. In the meanwhile, toast the sliced almonds and let them cool.
Once the milk mixture reduces to half, add the ground cardamom, ground nutmeg, 1/2 cup of sugar (adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste).
Continue cooking & stirring the mixture for 10 more minutes.
Add the toasted sliced almonds. Let the mixture cool. Once it reaches room temperature, refrigerate and serve chilled.
Basundi is now ready.
