Milk simmered for hours until dense, with layers of cream folded in, then chilled and finished with cardamom and nuts; the sweet that gives Mahaveer Rabri Bhandar its name.

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.
