How to make

• To begin making the Mishti Doi, place a heavy bottom pan on the heat. Add the milk and warm it on a medium heat.
• Reserve 1/3 of the sugar and add the remaining sugar to the milk. Allow it to dissolve while the milk comes to a boil.
• Turn the heat down and allow the milk to continue boiling until it reduces by half. Then, take it off the heat and set aside.
• In another pan,add the reserved sugar and place the pan on the heat. Keeping a low-medium heat allow the sugar to warm and melt, and you will notice it gradually changes colour to brown and starts caramelizing.
• When the sugar is a light golden bubbly mixture, remove from heat and add a tablespoon of water in the caramelized sugar and pour it in to the reduced milk. Stir well until combined.
• Let the milk cool slightly. Then add the whisked yogurt, stir well and pour the mixture in earthen pots or glass bowls.
• Let the doi set in a warm place for few hours. When set, store the Mishti Doi in refrigerator and serve chilled.
• Mishti Doi is ready to be served
