RABRI IN MICROWAVE

DIWALI......knocking at the door with all its glitterati, glamour, crackers, roshnai and sweets. Rabri is a classic, traditional Indian sweet. It is popular in every region, every corner of India. Very rich in taste, it is either eaten as an individual dessert or as an accompaniment with jalebis or malpuas.
My first meeting with Rabri dates back to 1978, when I visited Hardwar, a holy city in India. They sell excellent Rabri. Being a total vegetarian city where even eggs are not allowed, they depend much on fresh fruits and milk. The better the milk quality, tastier will be the dessert. Visited the same place later and may be had gallons of Rabri.

I prepared this Rabri in Microwave to save time, to keep an option open for jazzing up a quick dessert for my family and guests. I went through Tarla Dalal's Microwave Rabri recipe. I did not follow her recipe though. I used homemade instant khoya that once I learnt from an youtube video. Yet, I would credit her for the idea of doing Rabri in Microwave without much hassle. Let us do this Rabri In Microwave together.
