Huma's Anjeer ki Rabri

I love experimenting with different flavors and creating culinary delights for my loved ones.This evening as i rummaged through my pantry, my eyes stumbled upon a bag of plump, dried figs, also known as anjeer sitting there for quite a while . And I could not resist the temptation to create something extraordinary with this delightful fruits. Inspired by my creative instincts and the desire to utilize the anjeer, I decided to make a luscious dessert called Anjeer ki Rabri. And turned out yummier than expected!

Ingredients:-
- 1 liter milk
- 10-12 dried figs (anjeer), finely chopped
- 1 cup milk powder
- 4-5 green cardamoms, crushed
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste). If your milk powder is already sweet please add less sugar and taste it !
- A pinch of saffron strands for garnish
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnishing) or pistachios

Instructions:-
1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, pour the milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
2. Reduce the heat to low and let the milk simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
3. Add the chopped figs and continue to simmer the milk for about 20-25 minutes, or until it reduces to about half its original quantity.
4. Stir in the milk powder and crushed cardamoms, and cook for an additional 5 -10 min allowing the flavors to blend.
5. Add sugar to the mixture and stir well until it dissolves completely. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
6. Once the rabri has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Garnish the rabri with saffron strands and sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top. Also decorate with edible silver leaves once completely cooled off !
8. Serve chilled or as per your preference.
