Ingredients:
2 litres of full fat milk
10-15 strands of saffron
½ cup sugar
½ tsp rose water
For garnish:
Slivers of almond or pistachio
Dried rose petals
Preparation:
Take a heavy bottom pan, and add milk to it. Bring the milk to a boil and then add saffron. Lower the heat to medium and let a layer of malai form on top.
Using a skewer, push the layer of malai on the side of the pan. Keep repeating the process and keep pushing the malai on the sides.
Cook the milk for one to one and half hours till you are left with half a litre of milk. Then add sugar to this milk and mix well.
Add the laccha collected on the sides back to the rabri, add rose water and cook for another minute.
Pour the rabri in earthen pots for more flavor or just transfer it in a serving bowl. Garnish with almond and pistachio slivers. Serve.
I love this dessert, the meringue can be made the day before, the fruit and syrup can be done the day before or earlier in the day and all you need to do is whip the cream and put it all together.
