Steps In Making Rabdi
- In a heavy bottom pan add milk and bring it to a boil over medium flame. Keep stirring it continuously to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add milk powder and saffron and mix well.
- Once the upper layer of cream is formed, gently stick the malai/cream layer on the sides of the vessel. (Do not mix it in the milk).
- Keep repeating the process of sticking the malai/cream on the sides of the vessel 7-8 times or until the milk is reduced to ¼
- Now add sugar and cook for 4-5 minutes stirring it continuously on medium flame.
- Finally add the cardamom powder and all the dried nuts and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Switch off the flame and let the rabri cool down in the pan for 30 minutes before scraping off the malai/cream
- Gently scrape off the sides and give it a good mix and keep it aside.
- Serve cold. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for upto 3 days.
Recipe Notes For Rabdi
- Always use full fat milk for thick and creamy rabdi
- Never cook rabdi on high flame else the milk will stick to the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Let the rabdi cool down for sometime before removing the cream from the sides of the pan. Else the lacchedar rabdi wont be formed.
