Banarasi Rabdi
Product USP:
A heritage dessert from the ghats of the Ganga, celebrated for its creamy texture, delicate flavors, and centuries-old artisanal preparation.
History of the Product + Ingredients:
Rabdi is a jewel of North Indian sweet traditions, especially renowned in Varanasi, where it has been savored for generations as both a festive delicacy and temple offering. Our Banarasi Rabdi is made by slow-reducing full-fat milk for hours, allowing natural layers of malai (cream) to form, resulting in unmatched richness and depth. Sweetened lightly and perfumed with Kannauj’s kewra and Kerala’s cardamom, it occasionally features the golden elegance of Kashmiri saffron. The milk is sourced from North India’s finest dairies, ensuring purity and a rich, creamy base worthy of tradition.
Shelf Life:
Keeps fresh for 3–5 days when refrigerated.
Description:
Our Banarasi Rabdi is thick, luscious, and sacred in taste — a melt-in-the-mouth experience created through slow, patient cooking. Its natural malai layers and subtle floral and spice notes make it perfect for serving chilled in kulhads, just as it’s enjoyed along the ghats of Varanasi. Whether as part of a festive spread, a prasad offering, or a personal indulgence, this dessert is a tribute to India’s enduring dairy craftsmanship.
