 Approaching Father’s Day tomorrow and how can I not say something about my dad! 

Also, you will love the fact that it is a quicker version of the traditional one.

 My dad is our hero. By “our”, I mean mine and my siblings’. He is a man of character and strength. A man who is looked upon not only by his family but the community around. A man who speaks his mind. A man who is world wise and very adaptive, who never stops growing as a person. A man who is very grounded to his roots and values – giving, caring and an example for many.  My best friend in my growing years and still my mentor when I need true and unbiased advise. 

 He has traveled many countries and as a vegetarian, he has always adapted and appreciated the meal to whatever available. But when it comes to what he likes in food, he is such a “rustic man”…..loves his ghee, makhan(butter), malai, parantha, and “a good bhari hui thali” (a full big platter with condiments and sides).  

 The Rabdi and Pua is a very rustic combination and is common to the place I come from. I think the love for this dish was transferred to him from my “Dadi” (my grandmother). She could had just lived off it. Give him a bowl of good “malaidar” (creamy) Rabdi and he is one happy man. He would lick it till the last drop and say “Aah! Maza aa Gaya” ( Aah! I am content). 

 

Rabdi is made with milk which is cooked for long hours on slow flame and Pua is a sweet dumpling.

This is how I made it much quicker. The complete dish was done in almost 1 hr.

A very happy Father’s Day everybody!
Sonal

  5. This was an amazing dessert. Took me like 30 seconds to finish. Surprisingly sweet though Sonal said she didn’t add sugar.

    She is making it again!!
