Traditional technique to make rabri
When you never had rabdi (or rabri as some people confer with it), imagine a sweet, creamy milk-based dessert infused with saffron and topped with nuts. You may savor rabdi as is or you’ll be able to pair it with gulab jamun, jalebis, and malpuas.
Rabri finds its origins in Mathura but was apparently perfected in Varanasi. You’ll find many alternative versions of it across India but the preferred one is Basundi which is a thinner, less creamy form of rabdi.
Traditionally rabdi is made by boiling milk on low heat while constantly stirring it. Because the milk cooks, the water content reduces and the cream starts collecting on top. The cream is gathered with a spatula on the side. The stirring and cooking process is sustained till you might be left with a creamy, caramelized mixture.
This process can take over an hour with constant stirring involved. It’s actually not my cup of tea! That’s why I got here up with this fast recipe where you would like nearly quarter-hour and this dish is prepared before it!

The way to make rabri immediately
Key ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk is nothing but milk from which water has been evaporated. This key ingredient is what helps cut short the cooking time a lot when put next to the standard method.
- Ricotta cheese – Adds texture to the rabdi. Finely grated paneer can be used as an alternative – I haven’t tried it but Richa does in her rabdi recipe.
- Whole milk – to dilute the mixture and for taste.
- Flavoring agents – saffron, cardamom powder, kewra or rose essence
- Garnishes – chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios or nuts of your alternative) and rose petals.
Step-by-step instructions
Recipe notes / suggestions
The condensed milk-ricotta cheese mixture will keep on with the bottom and get burnt off very quickly. That’s why be certain that you follow these recommendations –
- Use a thick bottom pan
- Constantly stir and lastly,
- Cook on medium-low heat.
Storage instructions
As a rule of thumb, eat any milk-based desserts inside 2-3 days. All the time keep it refrigerated until it’s able to eat.
