I have used evaporated milk to make "basundi" and I've also used half n half + 2% milk in equal proportions. In the latter, one can control the sugar content but of course the fat content remains. Another cheat is to make a fine paste with 2 slices of white bread without the crust and whole milk - then you can do away with the condensed milk, half n half et all and use this mixture + whole milk. One adds the bread paste after the milk has boiled 15-20 minutes. This gives you a delicious cheer without the tediousness and there is no bread taste.

I am lazy, so instead of stirring milk for hours trying to thicken it, I start with a can of evaporated milk, and add half that can of heavy cream and let it thicken. The consistency turns out beautifully, and I add just enough sugar to taste. I find condensed milk cloyingly sweet sometimes. Lovely post, again! Makes me so nostalgic!Shinydewdrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943863004193895585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-26084569375175888902011-05-10T16:15:28.326-04:002011-05-10T16:15:28.326-04:00Thank you for the lovely story and the recipe.

Hope I got your name right. :) I am...Hi Sandeepa,<br /><br /> Hope I got your name right. :) I am a Bengali bachelor living in South Africa for a while. And although for a lot of years I have eaten in restaurants and had take aways for lunch and supper everyday. Suddenly the Bangali Khaddo Roshik( The food connossiuer Maybe this is not the literal translation. But I believe that we Bengalis are experts in appreciating good food) has come to the fore. <br />And even though I had never ever had any relation to the kitchen except to make my self a cup of tea or pour a bowl of cereal I have started to cook and without any recipes to go (Bangali moms only pass their cooking secrets to their daughters sadly not to their sons) by, am using memory of how the things used to taste back home and cook them accordingly. And on top a lot of condiments and oils esp Shorsher tel are not available here. <br /><br />I have made payesh, alu sheddho, bangla biriyani, aloo phulkopir chocchori, beguni etc and I think they came out pretty well. I had a few friends of mine taste these and even though none of them is Indian they were all impressed. In fact the ladies were more than impressed :) (Maybe me not having a penchant for hot food made it easier, as everything I cook as called in restaurant lingo here is "mild") <br /><br />I was going through your blog and am impressed I think we should make a serious effort to preserve our bengali ranna especially with people staying overseas. So this is a step in the right direction<br /><br />A few suggestions, maybe you should add pictures of the food in different stages of its preparation, that way for Noobs like me can get an idea if we are doing it right. Like for your kheer recipe I am not sure about what yoy mean when you say about reducing the milk to 1/4th if I could see how it looks maybe it will make it easier. Although yes a lot of things might not be very clear in a picture but some of them might (Oh I am sorry I saw some of your other recipes and I see that some of them have pics of the food in between as well :)<br /><br />Another, maybe I havent noticed it and you actually have it. You should have a section for other visitors to post their recipes and from them you could feature some of them.<br /><br />Anyways thanks for all the recipes will definitely try cooking them and will also let you know what I used in lieu of whatever is not available here..<br /><br />Wish you, your family and all the readers of your blog "Happy Holidays"........<br /><br />Regards<br />DevarpaDevarpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722955277988309500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-6086356261322548252010-12-09T06:46:26.058-05:002010-12-09T06:46:26.058-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Devarpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722955277988309500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-17781582917089979502009-02-09T12:05:00.000-05:002009-02-09T12:05:00.000-05:00You have replicated childhood memories so beautifu...You have replicated childhood memories so beautifully in this lovely post.

This is one lovely recipe which I would love to make. Do you by any chance know what I could use to replace the sweetened condensed milk?
