Recipe- Delicious And Easy To Make Bhapi Doi

Bhapi Doi is one of the easiest puddings to make and it's great for a dinner party because you can make it in advance. It's simply a steamed milk pudding that originates from Bengali cuisine. The Bengali's love rich sweet dishes and this doesn't disappoint. It has the texture of a panna cotta or a cheese cake but what is unique it that it has a slight yoghurt tang which is wonderful. Traditionally it is made with a cardamom flavouring and saffron for a little colour but you can flavour it however you like.
