Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon ghee / clarified butter

  • 2 tablespoon almonds slivered
  • 2 tablespoon pistachios slivered
  • 1 tablespoon dry rose petals

Instructions

  • Take a saucepan or kadai, add ½ teaspoon of ghee and swirl so that ghee /clarified butter coats saucepan. This is done to avoid scorching of milk from bottom.

  • Take 2 tablespoon of boiled milk and soak 12-15 strands of saffron in it, set aside.

  • Milk froths often and forms a layer of cream on top.
  • Scrape the edges of saucepan/ kadai and add cream back to boiling milk.
  • Around 1 to 1.5 hours, milk reduces to ⅓ quantity.
  • Add sugar, saffron soaked in milk, rose water and cardamom powder.
  • Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Garnish with almond and pistachio slivers.
  • Pour the rabri in earthen pots for more flavours.
  • Chill in refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
