Notes

On refrigeration, this rabri tends to thicken further, dilute with a little milk before serving as per desired consistency, and adjust the sweetness by adding powdered sugar, since the sweetness will decrease on the addition of milk.
You may also use vanilla extract, rose essence or kewra essence.
You can enjoy this rabdi as it is, or use it as a topping for jalebis, gulab jamun's, shahi tukda etc.
