What Makes My Favourite Apricot Meetha Recipe Different?
It’s my personal opinion that perhaps many people make homemade Khubani Ka Meetha for their loved ones, maybe following difficult recipes which may include artificial food flavours, but in my favourite Khubani Ka Meetha recipe, I always prefer, and I must recommend natural, simple, budget-friendly ingredients to add to my favourite Khubani Ka Meetha recipe.
Over the years, I have perfected the balance in homemade Khubani Ka Meetha.
My favourite Khubani Ka Meetha recipe focuses on:
- Natural Texture: It includes a natural taste maintained after cooking the dried apricots mixture.
- Controlled Sweetness: It includes maintaining sugar in the sugar syrup prepared for homemade Khubani Ka Meetha, and it also involves not adding sugar to the custard prepared for homemade Khubani Ka Meetha.
- The Apricot Almonds: I never waste away apricot seeds; the almonds inside apricot seeds are useful and effective for decorating homemade khubani ka meetha.
Step-by-step guide of My Favourite Khubani Ka Meetha Recipe:
1. Choosing the Right Apricots – My Favourite Khubani Ka Meetha Recipe
This is the first important strategy.
If you are in any city in Pakistan, always try to purchase apricots from KPK (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
The apricots imported from KPK province are super nutritious.
If they are too dark/black, the dessert will look dull.
I prefer the ones from Northern areas (like Hunza or Gilgit Baltistan) for that perfect taste of homemade Khubani Ka Meetha.
2. The Overnight-Soaked Dried Apricots – My Favourite Khubani Ka Meetha Recipe
You must try to soak khubani for 6 to 8 hours to get the perfect softness of apricots.
I soak 1 kg of dried apricots in about 4 large cups of water overnight.
- Why? This makes the fruit soft and helps to cook apricots the next morning.
3. Slow Cooking – My Favourite Khubani Ka Meetha Recipe
I always recommend placing the apricots and the soaking water in an extra-large, wider pot.
Cook on a medium-low flame. And never add any sugar when cooking the apricot mixture.
- My Experience: I’ve found that slow-cooking for 1 hour gives it a jam-like consistency that is smooth in texture and rich in consistency.
