 Mishti doi is a popular dessert from the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the states of West Bengal and Bangladesh. It is a type of sweetened yogurt that is made by boiling milk and then adding a culture of curd to it. The mixture is then left to ferment in earthen pots, which gives it a distinctive flavor and texture. The earthen pots help to keep the yogurt cool and provide a unique earthy aroma to the dessert. After the fermentation process is complete, the mishti doi is sweetened with sugar or jaggery and flavored with cardamom or other spices. It is then chilled and served as a dessert. Mishti doi is typically served in small earthen pots known as "kullars," which add to the traditional and rustic appeal of the dessert. Mishti doi is a beloved dessert in West Bengal and is often served at special occasions such as weddings and festivals. It is also becoming popular in other parts of India and around the world due to its unique flavor and texture. Kesari Chai Rasgull
