It is spring time again !!  I thought of making something refreshing to match the season. As the temperature warms up, cool desserts soothe and quench your thirst. I am delighted to share a recipe of my own “Lychee Gulla” with you all. It has the looks of an Indian dessert rasagulla, hence the name lychee gulla. It is a quick and easy mithai or dessert. You can make it with either fresh lychees or canned ones. Nowadays lychees are in season so I would suggest to make it with fresh fruit.

 

Ingredients

 

  • 20 lychees
  • 1 cup rabdi
  • 2 tablespoon of Chopped blanched Almonds
  • 2 tablespoon of Chopped blanched Pistachio

Check out the rabdi recipe here-

If you have time you can make rabdi at home or you can use store brought or ready mix packet rabdi, the choice is yours.

Quick tip

-Instead of rabdi you can use kulfi or any ice-cream.

 

Method

 

  • Peel and deseed the lychees.
  • Add the almonds and pistachio to 1/2 cup of rabdi to make stuffing.
  • Stuff the lychees with rabdi and dry fruit mix.
  • Serve chilled with a dollop of rabdi on it

    Use your imagination to present it in your style either in traditional way like a mithai or in modern chic style like party shots.

    Almost made my mouth water.. amazing shots and yummy yummy dessert… I love litchis but sadly this fruit is available only for a few months a year… I am nt a big fan of tinned ones.. I prefer drinking KDD harvest’s new Litchi juice, it’s almost as good as eating the juicy fruit.. I’ll probably make this the minute I get my hands on some delicious litchis, saving it! thanks
