SEETHAPHAL RABIDI

Seethaphal Rabidi is a traditional Indian sweet dessert made with custard apple, whole fat milk flavored with little cardamom. The texture of this sweet delicacy is extremely rich, creamy, and silky that just slips down the palate very smoothly on eating. A very specially flavored rabidi made with awesome seasonal fruit. The Seethaphal Rabidi tastes yummy when it is served chilled.

It is a very simple to make this dish but cooking the rabidi is slightly tedious as you need to thicken the milk which is worth trying for its exotic taste. Often Rabidi is mildly sweetened and can also be made with kesar or saffron. This rabidi has an excellent taste of custard apple that also thickens the sweet and enhances the taste with its sweetness. The rabidi also gives a nice crunchy feel on bite by garnishing badam and pistachio flakes.
