Apricots 250 grm
Milk 1/2 litre
Sugar 125 grm

Soak apricots in just enough warm water for 6-7 hours or overnight. Using a knife separate fruit and nut. Keep the nuts aside. Using the same water blend the fruit pulp into a coarse paste. Pour this paste in a thick bottomed pan, add milk and cook on a medium flame till it thickens. Keep stirring the mix. Add sugar and reduce the flame, and keep stirring. Cook for 10 more minutes till it thickens and switch off the flame. Add color if using. Crackle the nuts and carefully remove all the seeds. Soak them in hot water for a while and peel the skin. Split them and add these to the sweet. Finally add clarified butter and stir well.

Serve scoops of it with fresh cream / vanilla ice-cream / plain custard.

Am i to use fresh or dried apricots? Since the recipe requires the apricot to be soaked overnight, I am assuming the apricots used are dried, but its not clear.

Please clarify.

Thanks

actually apricots are called as KHUBANI not KURBANI in hindi.. as the name of this dish comes from the main ingredient, the name you have mentioned has to be changed..

Tips of the day
To make dosas more crisp, add a little fenugreek seeds to the urad dal while soaking.
