Beetroot Mishti Doi

Mishti doi is a traditional Bengali dessert. It is one of the most famous Bengali sweets. Traditionally mishti doi has a light brown colour. But in this recipe, I have added beetroot to give this bright pink colour. You heard correctly, that's beetroot mishti doi! Not only does it give the mishti doi an amazing shade of pink but also provide natural sweetness and a mild earthy flavour.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash, peel and chop the beetroot.

* Step 2

Using a blender, blend the beetroot with a little water at first to a smooth puree. Then add the remaining water and blend.

* Step 3

Run it through a sieve to catch the pulp and re-blend any large bits.

* Step 4

Add sugar to the beetroot juice.

* Step 5

Boil over medium heat. Stir until sugar is blended well.

* Step 6

Continue cooking until the raw smell disappears. Keep skimming the foam that is formed on the top.

* Step 7

Once it becomes thick, remove from heat and let it cool down.

* Step 8

Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed non-stick pot. Stir occasionally.

* Step 9

Keep boiling until the milk has reduced to half of its original quantity.

* Step 10

Then stir in the beet syrup. Mix it well. Turn the heat off.

* Step 11

Now let the milk cool down till it is just lukewarm.

* Step 12

Take curd or yoghurt, it should be homemade, beat it with a whisk. Add it to the warm milk. Then add strawberry/vanilla essence (optional). Stir well.

* Step 13

Then pour it into the desired pot or container. A clay pot is the best but if you don't have that then you can even use a glass bowl. Cover with foil and allow it to set in a warm place for 10 to 12 hours. Don't disturb it, as it can ruin the shape.
