Step-by-Step Instructions

Boil 4 cups of milk, curdle with lemon juice, strain whey through cheesecloth, rinse, and knead fresh chenna for 10 minutes; shape into small flat discs.

Boil 1 cup sugar and water together to make syrup, drop chenna discs in, and boil covered for 15 minutes until spongy.

In a separate pot, reduce remaining 2 cups milk by half with 0.25 cup sugar, saffron, and cardamom to create thick rabri.

Squeeze sugar syrup gently from cooked chenna discs and submerge them into the warm rabri.

Chill thoroughly in refrigerator for 3 hours, garnish with sliced pistachios, and serve cold.
