  • Once we get the baking dish out of the oven, in about 35-45 minutes stir the Rabri mixture and add the rest of the half and half(with saffron) and rose water.Let it cool
  • Rabri will thicken a bit after cooling.If you feel its too thick or if you prefer it a bit on the thin side, add some cold milk
  • Serve topped with nuts and saffron

Notes

Ovens vary, so after 30 minutes start checking on the rabri. The original recipe by my friend requires it to be baked for 45 minutes with the last 15 minutes being covered by foil. She leaves the foil uncovered from one side for venting. For my oven, it was done in 35 minutes.After 30 minutes, check every 5 minutes. Do not overcook. I don't even take the dish out of the oven, Pull the oven rack out and stir and put it back in the oven.
