Q for Qubani Ka Meetha under Regional Cuisine for BM #32. Qubani in Urdu means Apricots. This probably had origins in Central Asia but it was popularized during the Nizam rule in Hyderabad. Even today it is a very popular dessert during Hyderabadi weddings.
When I was listing the recipes with Q, I had most of them with Quinoa and I wanted some regional cuisine. So when I was having a conversation with Jaya (my sis), she mentioned Qubani Ka Meetha yet again and asked me if I could fit it in. I jumped at her idea, took the recipe from her and made it the same day.
I served it with fruit custard and it was just too awesome to pass! But make sure the sugar is adjusted to taste as the first time I made, it turned out a little too sweet for our comfort. So I reduced the sugar in the fruit custard and all is well that ends well.
This fruit compote stores well in the refrigerator for over a month..
Ingredients -
Dried Apricots 1 packet (200 gms)
Sugar 1/2 cup (adjust as needed)
Water as needed
Any more nuts if desired
Method Of Preparation -
Soak the dried apricots in water so that they are all immersed in water. Leave it covered overnight.
Remove the pit from the soaked fruit and in a heated pan add about a cup of water and let it come to a boil.
The pit when broken yields an almond like nut which tastes very good. So if you have the patience to break open the pits and get the nuts out, coarsely crush those nuts and add it to the compote.
Add sugar and slowly keep mashing the mixture with a ladle. Let it come together as a single mass.
Remove from fire and let it cool.
Serve it with Clotted Cream (Malai), Ice cream or Fruit custard.
