Instructions
 

  • Prepare steamer vessel with water, on the gas stove.
  • Meanwhile mix curd, condensed milk and cow milk into a blending jar. Blend for a few minutes.
  • Pour mixture into a mold or a bowl and put it in steamer. Steam for 15-20 minutes.
  • Take out from steamer and allow to come to room temperature. Refrigerate for sometime. Serve it cool with Pistachios and Almond Slivers.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For an extra-pronounced flavor, infuse the milk with a few saffron strands or a crushed green cardamom pod before mixing with the yogurt and condensed milk, then strain before combining for a delicate aromatic twist.
  • If you want a lighter version, use hung curd (yogurt strained overnight) to remove excess whey—this results in a denser, creamier Bhapa Dohi with minimal liquid separation.
  • For a firmer texture and easy unmolding, steam the Bhapa Dohi in individual ramekins or small bowls and chill thoroughly before serving; running a knife around the edge will help release the set dessert cleanly.
  • To add a delightful crunch and a modern touch, sprinkle the top with crushed caramelized nuts or a light dusting of toasted coconut just before serving, complementing the silky base with extra texture.
