Rose Kharvas: A Maharashtrian-style milk pudding flavored with rose and cardamom, this melt-in-your-mouth dessert is super delicious and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. A very pretty light pink color and lovely rose flavor. As you eat the soft and creamy pudding, you smell roses with every bite! Kharvas is an Indian milk pudding and traditionally it is made from cow or buffalo colostrum, the first form of milk produced within one or two days after giving birth. But this recipe doesn’t require colostrum milk as it is very difficult to find here..yet tastes similar with easy steps.

Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 7-8
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Full Fat/Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt/Hung Curd/Dahi
  • ½ cup Milk Powder
  • ¾ cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 tbsp Rose Syrup
  • 1 tsp Cardamom Powder
  • Dried Rose Petals(opt.)
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add milk, yogurt, milk powder, rose syrup, condensed milk and whisk it well until a smooth and lump-free mixture forms.
  2. Take a cake pan or container and pour the milk mixture into the pan. Top with cardamom powder and dried rose petals.
  3. In a large steaming pan, add 2-3 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, place a stand inside.
  4. Then place the cake pan over it, cover the cake pan with a plate, and cover the steamer. Steam for about 30-35 minutes.
  5. Check with a sharp knife by inserting it in the center of the steamed milk. If it comes out clean, that means the dessert is cooked perfectly.
  6. Remove the steamed pan from the steamer and let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for about an hour to chill.
  7. Cut the steamed milk pudding into the desired shapes and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
Always use full fat milk, yogurt, and milk powder.
Add 1-2 tbsp corn starch if you want firmer pieces.
You can top the dessert with fresh rose petals, slivered pistachios, etc.
Add more condensed milk if you want more sweetness.
