Rabri – Rabdi

Rabri – Rabdi

Rabri is a traditional Indian dessert that embodies richness and indulgence. Made by slowly cooking full-fat milk until it thickens and develops layers of creamy goodness, Rabri is a beloved sweet that has graced festive tables for generations. Known for its luxurious texture and natural sweetness, Rabri is often served on special occasions or enjoyed as a sweet treat after meals.

While most commonly referred to as Rabri, this dessert may also be called Rabdi in certain regions of India, such as North India. Despite the slight variation in names, the dish remains the same – a delicious, creamy dessert made from milk, sugar, and aromatic spices like cardamom, often garnished with nuts such as almonds and pistachios.

Our Rabri is made in New Zealand with the finest ingredients, ensuring that each spoonful delivers an authentic taste of this Indian classic. We take pride in using fresh milk and natural ingredients, without any preservatives or artificial additives, to bring you a wholesome dessert that is both rich and flavorful. The slow cooking process used in making Rabri allows the milk to thicken naturally, giving it that signature creamy consistency that melts in your mouth.

The preparation of Rabri begins with boiling fresh milk in a wide, shallow pan. As the milk reduces, layers of cream (malai) form on the surface, which are then folded back into the milk to create a thick, luscious mixture. Once the desired consistency is reached, sugar and aromatic cardamom are added, enhancing the flavor while keeping the natural richness of the milk intact. The final touch is a garnish of sliced nuts, which add a delightful crunch to the creamy texture.

What sets our Rabri apart is the purity of its ingredients and the care taken in its preparation. Since it is made fresh in New Zealand, we ensure that every batch of Rabri retains its natural flavors without relying on preservatives. This means that you get the most authentic taste, reminiscent of homemade Rabri from Indian kitchens.

Rabri is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with other sweets such as gulab jamun, jalebi, or malpua. It is also a popular accompaniment to traditional Indian savory dishes like puris or parathas, offering a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. During festivals like Diwali, Holi, or weddings, Rabri is often served as a dessert, symbolizing celebration and indulgence.

Because our Rabri is made with care in New Zealand, it brings together the best of both worlds – the authentic taste of Indian tradition with the quality assurance of locally sourced, fresh ingredients.
