🇮🇳 Indian

Hyderabadi apricot qubani, dark-sweet stewed fruit with cream. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 27 min Cook 31 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Ghee3 tbsp
Sugar1 tsp
Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered
Apricots500 g
Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

1
Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.
2
Combine the apricots with the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.
3
Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.
4
Stir in the almonds with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.
5
Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
