Khubani Ka Meetha or Qubani Ka Meetha

Khubani Ka Meetha is an Indian dessert made from dried apricots and nuts originating from Hyderabad. Khubani Ka Meetha is a common feature at Hyderabadi weddings, festival or in celebration. Khubani Ka Meetha…a perfect end to a Mughlai meal!. Khubani Ka Meetha is a simple yet delicious treat that can be enjoyed topped with whipped cream or ice-cream. Khubani or qubani is a Urdu word for apricot; it is believed that apricots were introduced to the subcontinent by Central Asians.

This dessets is very close to my memories, I was lived almost 2yrs in Hyderabad and in most of hyderabadi restaurants are serving this dessert in their menu card. I love this dessert with fresh sweet malai which is usually served in traditional way! I learn this dessert from my Hyderabadi Muslim neighbor!!!

Tips:

• You can also use yellow soft dried apricots; you just need to soak them just for 3-4hrs. Although color little bit different than regular one, taste will be the same.
• You can remove the skin from soaked apricots nuts if you don’t like.
• You can add 1 tsp vanilla extract to make it rich in taste.
• Adjust sugar level as per you taste.
