Equipment

  • Wide mouth thick bottomed saucepan

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour full-fat coconut milk into a wide mouth thick bottomed pan.
  • Then pour the vegan creamer. Mix and bring to a boil. Keep the flame on low to medium.
  • Keep stirring at regular intervals and scraping the sides of the pan to avoid scorching. The mixture should reduce in half.
  • Then add sugar. You can also add jaggery or cane/brown sugar.
  • Add rose powder and rose water to the pan.
  • Continue to cook on medium flame till the mixture thickens. This could take 20-25 minutes. Do not cover the pan at any point.
  • The final consistency should resemble a smoothie. Fry almonds and pistachios in oil and pour them over the Rose Basundi. You can serve this vegan Basundi hot or cold.

Notes

For rose flavor, you can also add rose syrup instead of rose milk powder. If doing so, adjust the quantity of sugar as it's already sweet. Also, there is no need to add food color. Cardamom powder, nutmeg, and saffron can also be added to give it a more aromatic flavor. Skipping the sugar and adding vegan condensed milk will help reduce the cooking time as it will help thicken the milk quickly. If you like your milk pudding to be smooth, add nuts powder instead of whole nuts. Especially some kids/fussy eaters don't like pieces to chew on when drinking something.
