Rabri Recipe (Indian Sweet Dish)
Rabri is a rich, creamy dessert made by slowly thickening milk and adding sugar, cardamom, and dry fruits. It’s popular during festivals and special occasions.
Ingredients:
• 1 liter full cream milk
• 4–5 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 4–5 green cardamom pods (crushed)
• 10–12 almonds (chopped)
• 10–12 pistachios (chopped)
• A few strands of saffron (optional)
• 1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
Instructions:
• Boil the milk
• Pour the milk into a heavy-bottom pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
• Simmer and stir
• Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer and keep stirring occasionally.
• Scrape the cream (malai) that forms on the sides and mix it back into the milk.
• Reduce the milk
• Continue cooking for about 30–40 minutes until the milk reduces to half and becomes thick.
• Add sugar and flavor
• Add sugar, crushed cardamom, and saffron. Mix well.
• Add dry fruits
• Add chopped almonds and pistachios. Cook for another 5–10 minutes.
• Cool and serve
Turn off the heat and let it cool. You can refrigerate it and serve chilled.
Serving Suggestion:
Rabri tastes amazing when served with jalebi, malpua, or gulab jamun. It can be enjoyed both warm and chilled.
Tips:
• Always use full cream milk for a rich texture
• Cook on low heat for the best flavour
• Keep stirring to prevent burning
