Gold Leaf & Almond Ledikeni

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Milk

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the milk reduces to about half its volume, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Almonds

    In another pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the finely chopped almonds and sauté until they are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sweeten the Rabri

    Once the milk has reduced, add the sugar, cardamom powder, saffron strands, and rose water to the milk. Stir well to combine and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.

  4. 4

    Combine and Chill

    Add the sautéed almonds to the rabri mixture, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Before serving, pour the rabri into serving bowls, and delicately place a sheet of gold leaf on top of each serving for an elegant presentation.
