Qubani ka Meetha - Royal Hyderabadi Delicacy


Wishing you a very happy and yummy 2014. Starting the year on a sweet note, I thought of posting
a sweet recipe. Though I have got some recipes in mind and 1-2 recipes in draft, I thought of
posting something which is close to my heart. I am not a sweet loving person, though I taste each
and every sweet, there are quite few which I call them as my favourites.

After double ka meetha, this qubani ka meetha is my second favourite dessert. I came to know
about this dessert through my Hyderabadi Cousins..who always use to talk about this whenever I
ask them about the menu of any wedding or any function. From them I got the idea how this is
made but never got a chance to relish it.My first encounter with this dessert was in my wedding.

This was one among the five desserts which were served on that day. Being bride I could not have
my fair share of this dessert.

But later when I came to my moms place for the first time after marriage, the same dessert was
made in welcome dinner.I had hearty share of this dessert and from the time this dessert was one
of my favourite. Over the time I made changes to make this in a much simpler way. The result is the
one which I am going to post todayThough the traditional recipe vary from what I am going to post
today.but still in many houses this is the recipe which we make more often..

This qubani ka meetha is star of many potlucks I attend. My friends even ask me to make this when
we are meeting over for dinner or lunch. So such is the craze of this sweet and tangy dessert.
Though serving suggestions vary, I love to serve this with thick plain vanilla custard or butterscotch
ice creamthe butterscotch in the ice-cream add crunch to this dessert. Over to recipe

PREPARATION:
Wash and soak dried apricots overnight in enough water. The ratio of dried apricots and water
should be 1:3.
By morning these dried apricots will puff into smooth balls. Transfer the contents to pressure
cooker and pressure cook for 2-3 whistles or until soft.
When the dried apricots turn soft (you can check softness by pressing the dried apricots in
between your fingers, the seed will come out easily) using a sieve separate water and cooked
dried apricots. Reserve the water.
Keeping the dried apricots in the sieve, using backside of a large spoon, gently mash the
cooked dried apricots into the reserved water. Mash till you remain with seeds. *
Now add seeds to warm water and set aside for 5-10 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. Break open
the seeds using a pestle or nut cracker to remove kernels. Cut into half and serve on top as
garnish.

Meanwhile add sugar to the collected puree and transfer it on stovetop. Cook until you get
thick sauce consistency. Add saffron strands and mix gently. Turn off the flame and leave to
cool.
Add love to make this dessert taste 'Yummy'.
Refrigerate in an air tight container to use when needed. You can store this puree in fridge up
to a week.

TO MAKE THICK VANILLA CUSTARD:


Prepare custard as per the instructions on the packet. Make it little thick, the consistency should be
like pudding.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
You can serve this with plain vanilla custard or thick cream or whipped cream or vanilla ice
cream. I usually serve this with plain chilled thick vanilla custard or butterscotch ice cream.
Just cut a slab of ice cream or scoop 1-2 scoops of ice cream in a serving bowl and pour in
thick apricot sauce which we made above and garnish with chopped apricot kernels and
pistachio. Serve immediately.
