Preheat an oven to 100°C/ gas mark 1/4. Mix the bhapa doi ingredients together and pour into an ovenproof container. Place the container in a larger tray filled with hot water to create a bain-marie. Steam in the oven for 25 minutes until just set (although it will set firmer as it cools, so don't worry if it's still very wobbly). Leave to cool, then cover and refrigerate for 4–6 hours to set
