Boondi Rabdi /Boondi Rabri



Entering the second week of Blogging marathon edition 72 with milk based desserts/sweets.For day 1 its boondi rabdi,one of the tastiest sweet,my family likes.Its a nice way to use the left over boondi or boondi ladoo. I made a larger quantity of  Boondi for Diwali and it lasts more than week.After a week we got bored to eat the same boondi,so tried this boondi rabdi for our week end lunch.The sweet came out extremely delicious and kids loved it a lot.

Coming to the recipe,the rabdi can be made in advance and chilled.Boondi can be added before serving.This sweet can be served both chilled or at room temperature.

This post has been lying in the drafts since some time and due to my laptop issues,I couldn't edit the pictures.Finally I am sharing the recipe today which fits for the theme.Let's move on to the recipe.......





                                               
                                         
                                                                              
                                                  Boondi Rabdi/Boondi Rabri


                                                                  
   Basic Information

   Preparation time 10 minutes
   Cooking time 30-35 minutes
   Chilling time 2-3 hours
   Serves 3 (generously)


  
 Ingredients


Ingredient
Quantity
Milk/Paal(whole milk preferably)
2.5 cups
Sweetened condensed milk
2-3 tbs(optional)
Sugar/sakkarai
3-4 tbs
Almonds and pistachios
3  tbs(finely chopped)
Cardamom powder/ellakai podi
a generous pinch
Saffaron/kungumapoo
few strands
1 cup
 
  
  
 Method 
  • Take the milk in a pan and keep it on a stove top and let it boil.After boiling simmer it and scrape the sides of the pan and stir in continuously to prevent burning.Meanwhile soak saffron in a tsp of milk.Add in the sugar and condensed milk,let it boil for 5 minutes.Now add in the finely chopped nuts.
  • Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes.Now add saffron soaked milk and mix it well.Boil it for couple of minutes.Add the cardamom powder and put off the flame.
  • Once the rabdi/rabri comes to room temperature,chill it in the refrigerator.Now in individual serving bowl add the boondi and top it with the chilled rabdi as needed.Garnish it with some chopped nuts and saffron.Refrigerate for 10 minutes if needed.

  • Serve it.






  • The amount of sugar can be increased according to personal preference.Since boondi has sweet I added around 4 tbs only.
  • Tastes better when it is served chilled.
  • The consistency of the rabdi will be thick after cooling.If you feel its too thick after chilling add some milk and adjust it.
  • The color gets deeper after cooling as the saffron it getting soaked.
  • As Boondi has cashews,I added only almonds and pistachios.
  • If you are using boondi ladoo,crumble the ladoo and use it.



Enjoy.....................

Surul Poli

Surul poli is a traditional and simple sweet which is easier to make with lesser ingredients.Surul means" roll" in Tamil, in which a stuffing made out of powdered coconut, roasted gram dhal and sugar, is rolled in a poli dipped in the sugar syrup.Here is the recipe.


Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Maida1cup
Salta pinch
Ghee1tbs
Sugar1cup
Cashews(roughly chopped) 1tbs
Almonds (roughly chopped) 4-5nos.
Saffron(optional)4-5 strands
Oilfor frying

For the stuffing
IngredientQuantity
Roasted gram dhal 1cup
Dessicated cocconut1/2cup
Sugar3/4-1cup
Cashews2tsp
Cardamom 4-5nos.

Method

                   Mix the maida ,salt,ghee and knead to dough with water and keep aside.

 

Put the dhal,cardamom and sugar in a blender, grind it to a fine powder.Mix in the dessicated coconut and finely chopped cashews to it.The stuffing is ready.


Mix one cup of sugar with a cup of water,boil it till it becomes slightly thick(no need of string consistency)and add saffron(I didn't use) to it,set aside.


Divide the dough into small balls and roll out each ball to 6-7 inch diameter circle(like a poori) and keep it in a plate.Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the rolled out dough and drain it in a paper towel.Make sure it should not be crispy and continue for the remaining dough.


Take one fried poli,dip it in the sugar syrup and keep it in a plate.Sprinkle a spoonful of stuffing, roll it (as shown in the picture)and arrange it in a plate.



Garnish it with the chopped nuts.


























  • The poli should not be fried too crispy,otherwise its difficult to roll.
  • The remained sugar syrup can be drizzled on the top of the poli.
  • Instead of dessicated coconut ,fresh grated coconut can be added,which needs to be sauted and used.
