Why evaporated milk for rabdi
traditionally rabdi is prepared by boiling milk for hours together, milk gets evaporated and thickened. Instead of making homemade evaporated milk to save time I have used store-bought evaporated milk.
is evaporated milk the same as condensed milk?
no evaporated milk is not sweetened and it will be in pouring consistency. Condensed milk is thick and sweetened.
can I replace condensed milk instead of evaporated milk?
For the best rabdi I would recommend evaporated milk. however if you couldn’t find evaporated milk, boil milk with condensed milk.
can I skip almond flour?
almond flour makes the rabdi flavorful and also gives a perfect texture to the malai. If you don’t have almond flour, soak 6 almonds. Peel and grind with other ingredients.
should I grind almond flour?
yes, it gives a good texture to the malai so I would recommend grinding.
amount of sugar
Adjust according to your sweetness and also the dish to which you are going to add the milk.
Skip Food color?
food color is optional but it gives a nice color to the malpua rabdi .
what should be the consistency of instant rabdi?
I prefer milk consistency runny rabdi as sweets get soaked better in that consistency. adjust the consistency according to your preference.
How can I use this rabdi?
Milk is tasty on its own. You can serve it hot /cold as a payasam. I like using it for sweets like paal poli, shahi tukda, bread malai, rasamalai etc.
variation for instant rabri
Soak almonds and use them instead of almond flour Add any nuts of your choice You can rose essence/ kewra water etc. adjust sugar according to your taste if you prefer thick milk increase the almond flour
