Coffee Rabhri
My day begins with a cup of coffee and it has been my routine since more than 10 years now. So, I do appreciate good coffee and is always in the lookout for one to try out. When I was working with Atnt , I used to love the cafe downstairs - Breve. I was surprised to find it’s a brand as well and they are local to Saint Louis. They sent me some goodies and I wanted to do something interesting with it. That’s when an idea popped up … to prepare a flavored Rabri using their coffee powder.
Rabri is an Indian dessert made out of milk using a specific technique . Yeah you boil the milk and stick the cream that gets produced while doing so into the sides of the vessel. At the end when the milk thickens , your scrape the sides and add it back into the mix to get a thick milk based dessert. You add saffron and dry fruits in the actual one but I have used coffee to develop a cafe flavor in mine.
If you love coffee and the smell of it you should try out this version of the Rabri .
