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 Custard Apple Basundi.

Custard Apple also known as Sitaphal or Sharifa is a delicious tropical fruits with sweet creamy pulp. It has many health benefits as it is a rich source of Vit A, Vit B6, Copper, Magnesium and dietary fibres.

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

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

This Custard Apple Basundi 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 tis dish for any Indian Vrats including Navratri, Shivratri and Janamashtami.
