Rabdi is one of the easiest desserts. Rabdi is a sweet, condensed milk based dish made by boiling the milk on low heat for a long time until it becomes dense and changes its color to pinkish. Sugar, spices and nuts are added to it to give it flavor. It is chilled and served as dessert. Rabdi is the main ingredient in several desserts, such as rasmallai, chhena kheeri, and kheersagar. I love it especially with cham cham (small rasgullas).
