History
Rabri is made by simmering milk for a long time and folding in the cream skin that forms on top, which gives laccha rabri its layers. Wikipedia finds a mention of rabdi in the Chandimangala of the early 1400s. In Jaipur, Time Out describes Mahaveer Rabri Bhandar as a hole-in-the-wall shop nationally known for its aloo pyaz sabzi and run by the fourth generation of the family, and recommends finishing with laccha rabdi; Travel + Leisure Asia calls the shop's rabri thick enough to stand on its own.

Ingredients
- 2 litres full-fat milk
- 80g sugar
- 4 green cardamom pods, crushed
- A pinch of saffron
- 20g sliced pistachios
Method
- Bring the milk to the boil in a wide, heavy pan, then lower the heat to medium-low.
- As a skin of cream forms, push it to the side of the pan with a spoon and keep simmering, repeating each time a new skin forms.
- After about 1 hour 30 minutes, when the milk has reduced to a third, add the sugar, cardamom and saffron and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Fold the collected cream layers back into the milk, then chill for at least 1 hour.
- Serve cold, topped with the pistachios.
Tip from the editors. Use the widest pan you own; the larger the surface, the more cream skins form to fold in.
