Rose – The subtle and aromatic flavor !!

 

Gulab Rabri is a delicious sweet dish which is best when served with bread roshogollas. The dish is loved by children and even by people who love sweets. A mild sweet dish which gives the aroma and flavor of roses makes the dish awesome. The experiment was a great success when I saw my friends savor it to all whom I served it chilled. Hope you enjoy the recipe too!!
