Rabdi is a perfectly proportioned combination of milk and sugar, thickened in a broad-bottomed vessel. When making rabdi, it is very important to keep scraping the sides of the pan at all times, otherwise the sides will burn. Moreover, if you forget to scrape the sides, the rabdi will also not become thick as the scraping of sides is what thickens the rabdi. In this book, i have used rabdi to make carrot crêpes with rabdi and other such delights.
