Dryfruit Basundi

One of the many ways, my mom-in-law prepares basundi -

Dryfruit Basundi
Ingredients
1 recipe Basundi
Mixture of nuts and dryfruits (like almond slivers, raisins, cashews, pistachios, pecans)
few drops of ice-cream essence

Method
1. Prepare basundi as described here. Cool down at the room temperature. Keep in the fridge for 1 hour.
2. When it is fridge-cold, stir in a few drops of ice-cream essence. Chill in the refrigerator.
3. Just before serving, spoon in dry fruit & nuts pieces - about 1 tbsp per serving bowl. Pour the chilled basundi on top. Sprinkle some more nuts on top, if desired.
5. Serve immediately.

Note -
1. After mixing nuts & dryfruits and basundi, serve immediately, else, the nuts may become too soggy.
2. Readymade basundi by Amul can also be used.
3. Use unsalted nuts.
