Bhapa Doi, or sometimes called Mishti Doi, is a very elegant and tasty Bengali dessert. Made with 2 main ingredients, curd and condensed milk with cardamom and saffron (or other ingredients) used for flavor. It is one of the healthier and easy to make desserts with limited sugar and no oil or butter. Steaming the mixture gives it a very unique texture and taste. You can serve it warm or chilled though I prefer to eat it chilled.
Now you can have a dessert without feeling guilty-conscious.
