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.
