This is truly a Bengali specialty. I grew up with “Mishti Doi” in Kolkata. All meals worth their salt ended with the “Mishti Doi”. These were readily available in earthen pots of varying dimensions in the countless “Mistanna Bhandars” of Kolkata. My Grandmother used to make this at home and store in the Jalti (small netted cupboard). I remember as kids we used to steal shamelessly from Thamma’s Jalti. So this is a dessert which has unique significance for me and I wanted to share it with all of you. To make it contemporary, I will talk about the baked version. The Baked Yoghurt with Jaggery is the modern avatar of this classic Mishti Doi. So, try out this easy to make recipe and enjoy an authentic taste of Bengal. Happy fooding around!
