Ingredients
- 250 grams Dried apricots (khubani)
- 100 grams Sugar
- 500 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
- 200 ml Whipped cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the dried apricots under cool running water to remove any surface impurities.
Step 2
Soak the apricots in 500 ml of water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.
Step 3
After soaking, deseed the apricots by gently pressing them to remove the pits. If the seeds contain kernels, you can crack them open and reserve the kernels for garnish.
Step 4
Transfer the apricots and their soaking liquid into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Step 5
Cook the apricots over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they soften further and begin breaking down, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 6
Add sugar and cardamom powder to the saucepan and stir well. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and achieves a jam-like consistency.
Step 7
Remove the apricot mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 8
To serve, layer the apricot mixture in serving bowls or glasses, alternating with whipped cream.
Step 9
Garnish with slivered almonds and apricot kernels if available. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra treat.
Step 10
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
