Just milk and sugar & your sweet craving is sorted with one of the best Indian desserts, ‘Rabdi’.
In a broad heavy bottomed pan boil milk on a high flame.
Once the milk starts boiling it will form a layer of cream.Lower the flame to medium & move the cream aside in a corner & give the milk a stir.
Continue simmering the milk & keep collecting the cream on the side.
Every time you collect the cream on the side stir the milk scraping the bottom to avoid burning.
After about 30 minutes the milk will be reduced in half. At this point mix in the collected cream together with the milk & add sugar.Stir well.
After another 15 minutes use a spoon & gently scrape off the dried cream on the pan & mix it in.
Now add the cardamom powder & stir well.
Continue stirring .
You can stop here if you like this consistency but I like to thicken the mixture more.
I reduce till the mixture thickens to this consistency, this whole process will take about 1 hour.
Remove in a pan & let it cool.
This is a rich dessert so to avoid overeating & going overboard 😬, I like serving the rabdi in shot glasses topped with chopped pistachios.
Or top it with pomegranate.
Serve cold & enjoyyyy😋
