Kolkata Rabri

The quintessential rabri from Kolkata has probably been handed down from the rabri that is originally from Varanasi. This very rich dessert is made by heating sweetened milk in a large open vessel (kadhai). As the layer of cream begins to form on the surface of the milk, it is taken off and kept aside. The process continues until the milk is exhausted. The rabri thus formed is extremely creamy and very heavy on the stomach, but loved by the average Bengali. Rabri was banned in Kolkata for sometime during the years of milk scarcity because of the fact that it uses up a large quantity of milk.
