You’re welcome Rohini. Usually we have it for 3 days in the fridge. It gets over by then.

Hi,

I just mailed you via the contact me but i have no idea when you will see it.Is it ok to use ricotta cheese instead of paneer ? And how much ?

Thanks
Anu

Hi Anu, I’m not sure about it because I’ve not tried it. I think the ricotta cheese would either dissolve or curdle when added to the hot milk. I think only with paneer you would get the correct texture.

Very nice recipe…I saw your comment about pal payasam…I always use evaporated milk for the same …and it does comes out welll….do try.

Also try using evaporated milk instead of cream in north indian recipes….

Thanks Swarna. Yes I did start using evaporated milk for pal payasam and sakkara pongal as well and both taste so good. Thanks for the tip about using it instead of cream. I’ll try it.

Hmmmm I did not check. I’m sure i made some mistake. Till the panner payasam stage it looked very good but when i tasted it there was a little tangy taste. does that mean the paneer was expired?

There is water above the thickened mix! is it spoilt?

Sanchitha, I’m very sorry about it. Mine looked nice and thick exactly like regular Basundi itself.

I’m not sure what happened exactly, but maybe the mix got curdled. It’s just a guess though. I have tried this Basundhi a couple of times before posting here and after that also and did not have any problem at all and so did my friend too. Did you check the expiry date of milk/paneer?

Hey,

I tried the basundi… I dunno if I did it right but After I added the remaining paneer to the payasam and let it simmer for 4 minutes. When i came back and saw it looked like the whole thing had gotten spoilt. I’m not sure if thts how its supposed to look.
