Rabri Kheer

Rabri Kheer
A cold desert served in Northern India and made with rice and milk,sweetened with sugar and has the goodness of nuts....

It was a great evening spent with friends and we all had a great time. I wanted to make some extra special dessert and decided to make some Rabri Kheer and serve it in earthen cups and garnish with gold flakes (not real ;) but definitely edible:) Any ways we all  friends enjoyed the desert so I thought to write down the recipe and share with all, so that you can try this too and enjoy a nice desert.
