Of Creamy Heaven in a Terracotta Pot..

Mishti Doi.

Read a comment in a food group. Love the name. Rolls off the tongue.

Curiosity got the better of me. Looked it up, found images of pots of creamy thick terracotta mugs of heaven.

A traditional classic Bengali dessert prepared by boiling milk until it is slightly thickened, sweetening it with jaggery, and allowing the milk to ferment overnight.

Was reminded of mum making Payodhi in the days of yore. Creamy baked yoghurt, frothed up on the surface, garnished with pistachios.

Tried to look for her handwritten recipe in my x-files then chanced upon a simple recipe, a delectable concoction of yoghurt, evaporated and condensed milk.

Here is my lockdown dessert. Flying, Floating, on a soft cloud relishing this as I write.
