Make a batter by combining sooji, curd and sugar. The consistency should be on the thicker side. Keep aside for about 2 hours in summers and 4 hours in winters. If you are using condensed milk for rabri then halve the amount of sugar used.
2
After the batter has rested for the suggested time, heat ghee/oil in a kadai. Take medium sized dollops of the batter and gently place them in the kadai. Placing too many at once might make them stick to each other.
3
Deep fry until the outer skin is golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a thali or tray. The puas are very hot at this stage, let them rest for a few minutes.
4
Now that our Puas are ready, lets quickly make a creamy rabri. Heat the milk in a heavy bottom pan and let it boil.
5
When the milk boils, reduce the flame and gently add khoya to the milk. Break the khoya by your hands in small chunks. Grate the khoya if frozen.
6
If you are using condensed milk, keep in mind that it already has sugar in it.
7
After adding the khoya let the milk thicken over medium flame for 15-20 minutes. The puas are sweet so you don.t need to add more sugar to the rabri, but you can add sugar according to taste.
8
After 15-20 minutes the milk will become thick and creamy. Our quick and easy rabri is ready. If you like cardamom ,add it at this stage.
