A creamy and very rich thickened milk dessert which tastes heavenly when served chilled.
Rabri is a sweet, thickened milk based sweet dish in which the milk is cooked on low heat for a long time until it becomes thick and changes color to pale. Sugar, saffron, and nuts are added to it to give extra flavors. Rabri is the main ingredient in several desserts such as Ras Malai, Jalebi, and Shahi Tukda.
I made rabri or often called as rabdi recipe from a cookbook and served it as a topping for shahi tukda. This is one decadent and rich dessert and can be served to guests in the get-together and parties as well. Always try to make rabri a day ahead if you are planning to serve it in a party as it takes a little more time and hand efforts.
Frankly, I prefer to make rabri only on festivals like Holi or Diwali as an offering to God. All the time making the rabri is worth spending when you see the family enjoying it with utmost satisfaction.

Wow this rabdi looks so yummy. We make something similar called basundi but I don’t think it’s as thick as rabdi.
