Hi Khatti,
I know you are Hydrabadi. So I have a request for you. Can you please give me the recipe for Khubani ka meetha? I have heard this is a Hydrabadi dish. I had it one time at a party and have been searching for an authentic recipe but have not been able to find it.

Re: Request for Khatti
What my mom did was lay the apricot compote on the bottom on the dish, then custard, then garnishing.
Re: Request for Khatti
Is it possible to pre make the meetha, like the apricot stew part 1-2 days before and regridgerate? And then add custard or cream on top before serving.
Soak apricot overnight until they’re swollen. Take the seeds out. We throw the seeds away. Cook apricot in the water used to soak them. Add more water… cook cook until they’re mushy. If you want you can add sugar but apricot is already sweet. We dont add sugar. Layer this pulp at the bottom of a dish and add custard on top. I will probably make it this weekend.. will add pics.
