Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1.5 litres milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Saffron, cardamom, nuts

Method

 

1. Boil the milk in a wide heavy pot on medium.
2. As cream layers form on the sides, keep scraping and folding them back in.
3. Reduce to a third; the milk turns thick with cream layers throughout.
4. Add sugar, saffron, and cardamom; simmer 5 minutes.
5. Chill and serve topped with nuts — or over jalebi for the classic combo.

Notes

Wide pot = more surface = more cream layers = better rabri. A narrow pot makes sweet thick milk, not rabri.
