Description

When you cook sweetened milk at a low temperature until it thickens to a creamy and rich texture, it becomes rabdi. To step it up a notch and to add another layer of flavor and aroma, cardamom powder or saffron is added. This is a hugely popular dessert in India and is usually accompanied by rasgulla (cheese balls cooked in a sugar syrup), jalebi or eaten as is. I added some berries to it for a refreshing feeling.

Ingredients

  • ½ gallons Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Condensed Milk
  • 1 pinch Saffron
  • ½ cups Blueberries
  • ½ cups Raspberries

Preparation

Cook milk in a thick-bottomed pan with a wide mouth. If a deep pan or pot is used to cook a lot of milk, the bottom layer sticks to the base while the top layer is still not hot enough. Bring milk to a quick boil, turn the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally. Using a plastic or wooden spatula, scrape the bottom occasionally, not allowing it to stick to the bottom. Cook it until the milk starts to thicken, and then add the condensed milk.

While continuously stirring, add saffron strands and cook until it reduces to a thick consistency. I personally like a pancake batter consistency.

Let the rabdi cool down and then you can either chill it or pour it mildly warm over fresh berries.

This looks intriguing to me, but where is the sweet part, do you add sugar to taste? Or, should it be sweetened condensed milk rather than just condensed milk?

I have never tried to rabdi, but it sounds like delicious. This is definitely on my list of things to try next!
