Made by reducing milk, Lachcha Rabdi is a sweet that can be served as sides or a typical, chilled dessert any day! Here is how to make lachcha rabdi (Lachha Rabdi).

Rajasthan is one of my favourite lands in India. With my grandparents’ house there, I have weaved so many memories there that whenever I visit it, I feel mesmerized by the gush of happiness and joy. And of course, its royal cuisine adds more fuel to that nostalgia every time we explore Rajasthan.

Out of every dish there which includes Rajasthani Jungli Maas, Rajasthani Namkeen Oliya, my favourite happens to be Rabri or Rabdi just because its soothing flavours derived from saffron, milk, cream takes your thoughts about a dessert to another level every time it is served.

Made by reducing boiling milk, Lachha Rabdi Recipe is a sweet that can be served as sides or atypical, chilled dessert after you have had your promising meal. Full of cream and milky froth, Lachcha Rabdi is rightly named by a wise man, I tell you!

For making that perfect bowl of Lachha Rabdi Recipe, my Dadi used to tell me that one needs to stir the pan full of boil milk till it develops a thick layer and gets reduced to a thick milky base. Finally, sugar is added to it and I also added a lil rose water to give it that amazing aroma.

Being a fan of dry fruits and rose petals, I tend to serve Lachha Rabdi Recipe with rose petals, pistachio and almond slivers, that take up this desi dessert one notch up for sure.

With Diwali just around the corner, do try Lachcha Rabdi Recipe and win over your guests in no time, ladies!
