Equipment

  • Pots and pan
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 litre Full cream milk I opted for normal Cow milk
  • 2/3 cup Cornflakes 50% of this is crushed, and rest used as is
  • 1/2 cup Condensed Milk you can substitute with approx 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder I didnt use
  • 1 pinch Saffron strands
  • 2 TBSP Nuts chopped - I used almonds and pistachio

Instructions
 

  • In a non stick / heavy duty pan, Heat milk on a very low flame, and do not let it boil up.
  • Soak saffron strands in 1 TBSP warm milk for 5 mins, add this to the pan.
  • After 10 mins, when it comes to a smaller boil, keep scraping down the cream formed on the sides and top.
  • Now add crushed cornflakes, stir and let it cook till it softens, the rabri would start thickening slightly now.
  • After 5-7 mins, add the condensed milk (or powdered sugar) and stir well.
  • You can check for sweetness and adjust accordingly. Keep scraping down the cream and mix it with the now boiling milk.
  • Then add chopped nuts and cardamom powder, mix well.
  • When it considerably thick (it thickens quite a bit on cooling), take it off the fire and set in individual ramekins. Top with nuts if desired.
  • Chill for at least 45 mins - 60 mins. Serve.

Notes

  1. Use Full fat milk for best results. If vegan, you can try with a vegan substitute, I haven’t tried it yet
  2. For the first 15 mins, keep the heat on low-medium and keep scraping the sides and adding to the milk
  3. Do not leave the milk unattended as you need a fuller, richer Rabri (condensed fat) at the end of the cook period
  4. You can add a dash of rose essence to make it richer. 
  5. Another variation of this Rabri is to add any fruit puree, esp Mango Puree / Aamras
  6. Use fresh cornflakes for best results.
  7. If the cornfakes are soggy, slightly crisp them up in a microwave or an airfryer / oven.
  8. You can also use Millet flakes in place of Corn Flakes, I haven't tried - but I assure you it's next on the list.
