Ingredients
Dairy & Sweeteners
Spices & Flavorings
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 1 tsp Rose Water or kewra water, for a floral aroma.
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Pistachios sliced or chopped, for garnish.
Instructions
Begin the Rabdi Magic
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, pour in 5 cups of whole milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Creating the Creamy Layers
- As the milk heats, a layer of cream will begin to form on the surface. Gently push this cream layer towards the sides of the pan using a spatula.
Patience is Key
- Continue to simmer the milk, collecting the cream layers as they form. Stir gently but regularly to avoid burning the milk at the bottom.
Sweetening and Flavoring
- Once the milk has reduced by about half, add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder. Keep collecting the cream from the sides and incorporating it back into the milk.
Final Touches
- When the milk has reduced to approximately 1/4 of its original quantity, scrape all the accumulated cream from the sides of the pan, and mix it thoroughly into the milk. Stir in 1 teaspoon of rose water.
Serving Your Rabdi
- Remove from heat, allow to cool completely, and refrigerate until chilled. Serve chilled and garnished with sliced pistachios.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Rabdi
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent burning and ensure even heating.
- For an even creamier Rabdi, use full-fat milk and reduce it slowly over low heat.
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference. Taste and add more as needed.
- Feel free to experiment with other nuts and spices like almonds, saffron, or nutmeg for added flavor and visual appeal.
