Qubani ka Meetha
I use to always have qubani ka meetha in Hyderabadi restaurants , never thought i would end up making it one day, this is new addition to my dessert menu, as it involves less effort to make and yet it is delicious.
Ingredients:
- Dried Apricots - 250 grams
- Sugar - 150 grams
- Chopped almonds
- Water - 3 cups
- Custard
Method:
- Rinse the apricots and soak them in water overnight.
- Make custard according to the packet instructions, let the custard be slightly thick in consistency.
- Remove the apricots from the water and deseed them, do not throw the water.
- Break the kernels which were deseeded, u will find almonds like nuts inside, keep it aside.
- In a non stick pan, add the apricots and the water which it was soaked in and cook this on medium flame, once the water starts boiling add sugar and mix well.
- Cover the pan and allow it cook for 25 to 30 minutes, in between u can take a masher and mash the apricots while its cooking.
- U can add little more water if needed.
- Once the mixture starts thickening add the almond like seeds removed from the kernels.
- Take it out in a serving bowl and top it with few tablespoons of cold custard and chopped almonds and its ready to relish.
Note:
- You can also top it up with some fresh cream or ice cream.
- My guest preferred the dessert without nuts so i haven't used almonds, as seen in the above pic.
