Ingredients
Dairy & Sweeteners
Spices & Nuts
- 2 pod Cardamom green cardamom pods, lightly crushed; remove seeds before serving
- 1/2 cup Pistachios shelled, finely chopped, unsalted pistachios
Instructions
Prepare the Rabdi
- Boil 500ml whole milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning. Reduce the milk by half, which will take approximately 20-25 minutes.
Add Sweeteners and Spices
- Once the milk is reduced, add 140g condensed milk and 50g sugar. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add 2 lightly crushed green cardamom pods. Stir gently and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
Incorporate Pistachios
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios to the Rabdi. Stir gently and cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the pistachios to infuse their flavor and slightly soften.
- Remove the cardamom pods before serving.
Cool and Serve
- Remove the rabdi from heat and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the rabdi to chill thoroughly. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Pista Rabdi
- For an even creamier rabdi, use full-fat milk and simmer it over a very low flame for a longer period. This slow reduction helps intensify the milk's natural sweetness and create a richer texture.
- If you prefer a less sweet rabdi, you can reduce the amount of condensed milk and sugar to your liking. Taste the rabdi frequently as it simmers to adjust the sweetness.
- Toasting the pistachios before chopping them will enhance their flavor and aroma, adding another layer of deliciousness to your rabdi.
- Garnish your chilled Pista Rabdi with extra chopped pistachios, a sprinkle of cardamom powder, or a few strands of saffron for an elegant and visually appealing presentation.
