Khubani Meetha | Hyderabadi Khubani Meetha | Apricot Dessert...
Khubani meetha is a traditional Hyderabadi dessert made with dried apricots that are soaked, cooked, and sweetened until they become soft and syrupy. The natural tartness of the apricots balances the sweetness, while the cooking liquid develops into a light fruit syrup. Soaking the dried apricots well before cooking helps them soften evenly and makes it easier to remove the seeds. The dessert can be served warm or chilled, usually topped with fresh cream, custard, or homemade thick yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried apricots (soak overnight)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- Vanilla essence
- Orange Food colour
- Vanilla ice cream
