5 Tips to Make Perfect Mishti Doi at Home

Mishti doi is a sweet, creamy Bengali dessert that can be tricky to make.

To get it right, start with full-fat milk for the best creaminess.

Caramelize the sugar first to get that classic color and flavor.

Make sure the yogurt is smooth by whisking it well before adding it to the milk.

Use traditional earthen pots for a thicker, creamier final product, and let it set in a warm place without disturbing it.

This helps the yogurt ferment and gives it the right texture.
