Custard Apple Rabdi, is a delightful festive dessert or otherwise.Enjoy this when markets are flooded with fruit and enjoy!




So here's my new post,and this time it is Custard Apple (Sitafal) Rabdi!
I have been a little late to post recipes,Sorry for making you all wait.
I am getting so many requests for recipes that I am not able to prioritize,which one's I should take up first.
So when a reader asked me to share Sitafal/Custard Apple Rabdi,I was wondering how to do the recipe, as I personally never liked that fruit.
In-spite of my mom and many in my family are crazy for Custard Apple,somehow I never grew taste for it.

These days markets/stores are flooded with Custard Apples. When I got this recipe request,I thought of making it for my readers,but I had so many doubts that whether I will be able to finish it😀
So I gave it a try my way and guess what! I ate two servings of it! not 1 but 2😂

Here are some facts about this recipe:
  • I have added very less sugar as Custard Apple itself was very sweet for me,so I did not want to overpower it with sugar and loose the fruit taste.
  • I did not add any flavor /essence here as the fruit itself oozes so much of its aroma in the final dish that you wont need anything extra.
  • Still if you prefer then add rose/kewra or any essence of your choice.
  • For garnish,what to add is totally a personal choice,I wanted the pictures to be a bit interesting so I added Rose buds.

    4. I am intrigued by this recipe, but was wondering if you have a recipe to make khoya as I cannot find it in my local stores. Also, what type of apples are best for this? Is it a tart apple, or more of a sweet one?

      I love your photos. The pistachios and rose buds make it look so pretty.

    8. There has been a bit of a confusion here, and I just talked about it again with my husband. Some people are confusing the hindi names of custard apple and bull's heart, ram phal and sita phal. What the proper names are is not very clear because 5 years ago there were other names mentioned online.
      By the way you rabdi looks delicious! :)

    11. Hi Prasanna! I used to really like custard apples as a child while growing up in India, so this recipe brings back some pleasant memories. I've not had custard apples for a ling time now though and I'm wondering if I can find them in Canada. Will look though. Your recipe is really different!
