I usually grease the box lightly with butter. Pour about one-third of a small tea cup of water in the pressure cooker. Now place your box, with the lid on, on the plate with hole (it helps to steady the box once the water boils). Now close the cokker lid, don't use the whistle, and just keep the cooker on the stove for five to seven minutes (if you want your bhapa doi to be soft) or ten minutes (if you want it to set like sandesh). Reduce the heat after the first couple of minutes. <br />Sarbarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854229206657265253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-47064397623796128722015-06-21T06:59:35.143-04:002015-06-21T06:59:35.143-04:00absolutely true!!

I use caramelised sugar to sweeten the milk, and I set the curd as soon as the milk loses the steam but is still warm, using a generous helping of sour curd to set it, more than you would use for ordinary curd. I put the bowl the in my oven preheated to 100 degree C, but DO NOT keep the oven on. It usually takes one night to set, but sometimes in cooler weather it may take much, much longer. The thing is not to panic and allow the misti doi as much time as it needs to set!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-81873472571664752902012-02-20T19:43:18.094-05:002012-02-20T19:43:18.094-05:00keep it onkeep it onBongMomhttp://www.bongcookbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-72031333868138643322012-02-20T09:28:28.862-05:002012-02-20T09:28:28.862-05:00hi

I think you are right,sweetening milk and then setting should be mishti doi<br /><br />Bhapa means steamed. It is NOT just sweetening yogurt and steaming, it is mixing thickened and sweetened milk with yogurt and then steaming to set like say as in a pudding.<br /><br />You can make the steamed version in a regular steamer, in a double boiler or in the pressure cooker without the weightBong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-15413101770964107032010-01-08T05:14:40.149-05:002010-01-08T05:14:40.149-05:00great blog...
