This three-ingredient delight is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth and those without. Dried apricots (khubani in Urdu) form the heart of this regal dessert, which is believed to have come to India with Alexander’s expedition to the subcontinent. Born in the royal kitchens of Hyderabad, Khubani Ka Mitha has a floral and warming flavour complementing the tangy-sweet fruit, with milk and sugar partnering up to create this apricot-infused allure. Make this your new perfect ending to a lavish feast or a humble, quiet evening. You’ll be a hit chef every time you prepare this luscious pudding that the blue bloods of India adored.
