Mishti Doi or sweetened Yogurt is
the ultimate Bengali dessert. If you can get it right, it will win the hearts

You can only look at the liquid pot of frustration in despair and brace for the impending embarrassment. No no no, despair not, with my recipe you won't take a chance and the best part is that it takes only an hour!
