Custard Apple Basundi

Custard Apple Basundi is a delicious twist on classic basundi where fresh custard apple pulp is added to it. It is perfect to have for vrat days. Here is how to make it.

Custard Apple also known as Sitaphal or Sharifa is a delicious tropical fruit with sweet creamy pulp.

It has many health benefits as it is a rich source of Vit A, Vit B6, Copper, Magnesium and dietary fibers.

The only challenge eating this fruit is to take out the pulp from the large seeds.

But once this is tackled, it’s a delight to eat.

I have become a fan of custard apple ice cream sold at one of the organic ice cream stores in Pune.

On my last visit to the market, I got hold of some nice Sitaphal and with Navratri coming up in a few days, churned up two dishes using it.

This dessert is a nice twist on the classic Basundi. the creamy reduced milk is enhanced even more by the addition of Custard Apple Pulp.

You can have this dish for any Indian Vrats including Navratri, Shivratri, and Janamashtami.

Step by Step Recipe

Heat milk in a heavy bottom pan.

Once it comes to a boil, add saffron.

Cook on low heat until it is reduced to half. Keep stirring continuously so that cream is not formed at the top and milk becomes smooth and thick. Once the milk is reduced, add sugar and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove the pan from heat and let the basundi cool. Once the basundi is cooled, add custard apple pulp to it and mix well.
