Radbri/Rabri is a royal dessert which is prepared by slow cooking milk and then collecting the Milk Cream and then flavoured with dry fruits and Saffron. It is also used in many other desserts like RasMalai, Rasgulla, Malpua .It is usually had after a heavy meal .As it is prepared using milk solids it is high in calories so perfect way to end a fast. And a great idea for an iftar party .It is so creamy rich and delicious. Many variations can be made in this however I have prepared a basic version. Now let’s get started!!
Rabdi / Rabri Recipe
3. Continue collecting the Malai/Cream layer till the milk thickens and reduced to almost less than half of its original quantity. Now add in the Sliced Almonds, Pistachios and Saffron.
4. Mix well and then add in Sugar and Cardamom Powder Simmer for another two minutes .By now the Radbi would have formed and becomes slightly yellow in colour. Now bring all the collected malai or Cream to the reduced milk and mix well and then switch off the flame.
Serve warm or chilled. I prefer it chilled.
