Basundi is a delicious Indian dessert made with milk. Please your family and friends with this easy instant pot recipe with a twist by serving it as basundi shots during a potluck or a party.
Wet the instant pot container to avoid milk from sticking.
Pour milk and sugar and select "Saute" mode on Normal until milk comes to boil. (This can take upto 15 minutes)
Change Saute mode to "Low" and continue cooking for about 30 minutes and then add the vermicelli and soaked basil seeds (discard the water). Stir every few minutes.
Continue for another 20 minutes. Stir every 8-10 minutes
Turn off the instant pot, add cardamom powder, saffron strands and chopped pistachios.
Refrigerate for about 6 hours before serving chilled.
Notes
Adding sugar while boiling milk helps avoiding the milk to stick at the bottom of the container.
If you want to speed up the process, select Saute mode on "Normal". This will need more monitoring else milk can overflow from the container into the instant pot.
