Litchi Rabdi | Litchu Rabri | Lychee Rabdi
Litchi rabdi is made with full-cream milk, boiled with brown sugar and cardamom powder until it thickens. Small pieces of litchi are then added to it along with a few fried dried fruits like cashew nuts and raisins.
Ingredients
- 15 pieces litchi peeled, seed removed, chopped into small pieces
To boil the milk:
- 1 liter milk full cream milk
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp brown sugar or regular sugar
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
To fry the dry fruits:
- 1 tsp ghee clarified butter
- 2 tbsp cashew nuts broken in half
- 1 tbsp of raisins kismis
Instructions
- Put 2 tbsp of water in a pan, spread it and then pour a liter of full cream milk. Stir continuously to bring it to a boil on a medium flame.
- Take 15 pieces of litchi, peel them, open them and remove the seeds from the inside.
- Chop them into small pieces.
- When the milk is reduced and starts to thicken, reduce the flame to low and boil it until it thickens further.
- Add 3 tbsp brown sugar. Mix and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until the melted sugar becomes thick. Mix ½ tsp of cardamom powder and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Check consistency. Run a finger on the back of the spoon. If the milk coats it, switch off the gas stove, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool.
- Fry 2 tbsp of cashew nuts (broken in half) in 1 tsp of ghee (clarified butter) on a low flame for half a minute. Then fry 1 tbsp of raisins (kismis) till they swell up.
- Add the chopped litchi and the fried dry fruits to the rabdi. Mix and check the final consistency.
- Transfer it to a bowl. Keep it in the fridge for an hour to thicken.
- Garnish with a few dry fruits and your sweet and delicious homemade litchi rabdi is ready.

Notes
I first put 2 tbsp water in the pan and spread it all over before putting the milk. This prevents the milk from sticking to the bottom and getting burnt.
I use full cream milk for the rich thick texture of the litchi rabdi.
You can use litchi in the rabdi without chopping if you want.
You can use regular white sugar if brown sugar is not available, though brown sugar adds to the color, taste and flavor of the litchi rabdi.
If you use jaggery, add it only in the end after switching the flame off.
