FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the secret to a rich, velvety rabdi?
Use full-cream buffalo milk in a wide, heavy-bottomed kadai on medium heat. Continuously collect the surface cream (malai) on the sides of the pan and fold it back in at the end.
How do you prevent sugar syrup from crystallizing in Indian sweets?
Add 2-3 drops of fresh lemon juice or a pinch of citric acid to the hot sugar syrup; it inverts sucrose into glucose and fructose, preventing crystal formation.
