Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Boil the milk and keep stirring to reduce the volume of milk to half. Avoid the formation of malai/cream as much as possible. Take some milk out in a glass and to it add the milk powder and mix properly.

* Step 2

Now, mix this milk to the remaining milk. In another pan add about 1/3 of the sugar and keep stirring on a low flame.

* Step 3

Gradually, the sugar will start caramelizing. Be careful not to burn the sugar.

* Step 4

Now, turn off the flame and add some milk to the caramelized sugar. As all the caramelized sugar dissolves add this milk to the remaining milk. Also, add the remaining sugar and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.

* Step 5

Whisk the yogurt properly else you will find lumps of yogurt in mishti doi after it is set.

* Step 6

Then add the tablespoon of yogurt to the milk and mix properly. Cover the mixture and keep it in any warm corner of your kitchen.

* Step 7

If you are preparing mishti doi in winter or in cold places cover it properly with woolen clothes or you can also keep it in oven at 40-45°C. Leave it overnight. Next day keep the mishti doi in refrigerator for 3-4 hours and your mishti doi is ready to serve.
