Ingredients

1 liter - full cream milk

200gms white sugar

3 pods - cardamom

8-10 - almonds, blanched, cut finely

4-5 - pistachios, skinned, cut finely

10 to 15 threads – saffron, soak it in 2 tablespoon of milk

1. Typically, rabri is made using an earthen pot. If you don’t have this at home, you may use a thick-bottom pan instead.

2. Over high flame, mix milk and sugar until it boils. Stir continuously.

3. Lower the heat to low flame. Allow the mixture to reduce to half. Make sure to stir occasionally so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom and sides of the pan.

4. When done, mix in dried fruits and saffron milk. Stir well. Refrigerate. Serve cold.

5. You may also store rabri for a long time as it is just a basic reduced milk recipe. Apart from being tasty, it is very healthy.
