NOTES
- Use a thick bottom or a non-stick pan.
- You can reduce the quantity of sugar and increase the quantity of condensed milk.
- Be careful while adding saffron sometimes it gives a strong flavour.
- You can adjust sweetness as per your taste.
- It thickens after cooling and chilling.
- After chilling if it becomes very thick ,add chilled milk.
- You can also add few drops of rose water.
- Adding custard apple pwdr mixed in few tsp of milk towards the end enhances the flavour and gives a smoother texture – important tip.
- The basundi should not be very thick it should be of runny consistency.
- Dry fruits soaked in hot water nad finely chopped , can added as per your preference.
- Even powdered dry fruits can be added.
- Full fat milk is better , I have used normal .
- If you are going to chill the basundi for longer time then reduce the boiling time as basundi thickens.
- It tastes more better , if it is refrigerated overnight.
- You can add any fruit pulp , after it cools down .
- You can also relish it plain without dry fruits .
- If u have leftover basundi ,then squeeze few rasgullas and add it and enjoi .
BENEFITS OF TADGOLA – https://www.mobiefit.com/blog/superfood-wonders-of-the-humble-tadgola-or-ice-apple/
Palm fruits are loaded with minerals like sodium, potassium, phosphorus and calcium, as well as traces of zinc and iron which can help keep your salt and electrolyte balance in check, especially in summers where we lose a lot of water through sweat. The potassium content further helps in flushing out liver toxins. Besides, the fruit also contains small doses of Vitamins A, B and C and virtually no traces of fat, making it ideal for those on a diet.
Though low in calories, ice apples are known for their glucose content that can help keep energy levels up even in draining heat. Not only does it help prevent dehydration, but also fights heat-related fatigue, and allows you to keep going for longer. Interestingly, neera or the sap from the palm trunk that is extracted early morning is also another popular summer drink, and a great energy-boosting option for the season.
Nutritionists and health experts these days recommend going back to local foods and flavors in our bid to eat healthy. Indigenous produce is better equipped than supplements and health foods to fulfill specific nutritional requirements that are often dictated by geography and local climate. The palm fruit is no exception. If you’ve never tried it or left the taste behind somewhere in your childhood, now’s a good time to welcome this delicious fruit back into your life.
