Doodh Bagiya is a very mouth slobbering sweet dish preparation, practiced in Mithila. You can derive out even more tasty variation of it by flavouring the milk with Bayleaf or cardamom. some stuffing of Khoya or grated mawa can also be tried out in order to make Bagiya more yummy.

An another innovation of making Bagiya is , first cook it in the milk and take out, then reduc the left over milk to little thick creamy consistancy. Arrange the cooked bagiyas in a platter and pour the thickened flavoured milk over it. Cover it with Varaq (chandi ke panne). serve hot or cold garnised with Raisins or chopped Pistachio.

do certainly try this out once in any function or get together at your home and win hearts of your guests.
