Put a heavy bottom pan on heat. We will put the Milk to boil in the pan.

As the milk comes to boil, begin stirring. We need to stir the milk throughout the process of reducing the Milk..

Meanwhile, we will slightly toast the nuts- cashews, almonds and pistachios. Remove from heat and grind into a coarse powder.

Lightly toast Charoli as well.

Remove 1/4th cup of Milk in a bowl and soak saffron strands in it.

After 30 mins, when Milk is reduced to half, add sugar and khava. Mix well.

After 45 mins, add roasted and powdered nuts, charoli and saffron soaked milk. Mix well.

Basundi should be ready in about 1 hour 15 mins. Finally add Nutmeg (Jaiphal)powder, cardamom powder and mix well. Add some dried rose petals for garnish (optional)
