Ingredients
- 25 to 28 dried apricots (khubani)
- 1 to 1.5 cup strained water from the soaked apricots
- 2 to 3 teaspoon sugar as required (optional)
- sliced almonds - optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the apricots well in fresh water.
- Then soak them overnight in 2 to 2.5 cups water or 4 to 5 hours in warm water.
- Remove the apricots the next day and keep the water aside as we will be using it later.
- Press the softened apricots with your fingers and remove the seeds. You can also chop them if you prefer. Keep the hard kernels aside and break the kernels with a pestle or nutcracker.
- Throw away the hard covering and keep the almond like nuts aside.
Making Khubani ka Meetha
- Add one cup of the strained water in the frying pan along with the chopped apricots.
- You can also just mash the apricots with your hands and then add them to the pan.
- Cook on a low flame for 22 to 25 minutes stirring occasionally. While cooking mash the apricots with a spoon.
- If the mixture looks dry, add some of the reserved strained water.
- Now add sugar according to taste and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Lastly add the almond like seeds of the apricots.
- Mix and stir and then serve khubani ka meetha hot or warm or cold.
Serving Suggestions
- For the best taste and flavor, serve this sweet dish hot or warm.
- For a richer experience, you can opt to serve it with malai (clotted cream), whipped cream, custard, ice cream, gulab jamun or rabdi.
Notes
- The recipe is adaptable with any kind of dried apricots. I have used the brown-colored dried apricots. With each variety, there will be slight changes in the taste and flavor.
- You can adjust the quantity of sugar as per your liking. You could also skip the sugar entirely.
- If you prefer, use blanched, sliced almonds or even pistachios for garnishing instead of the apricot kernels. You could skip adding any of the nuts entirely.
- This Qubani Ka Meetha recipe can be scaled up easily to make a bigger batch.
