Here is the recipe for Hyderabad's very own and very delicious dessert. This is an absolutely delightful dessert, which is very easy to make and goes great if you're having a biryani party at home. I'm sure your guests will ask for more ;-). The below proportions serve 3-4 people (single serving) and if you anticipate more people, then increase the proportions accordingly
Ingredients:
100 gms khubani (dried apricots, seedless)
50 gms sugar (more if you like it sweeter)
A few almonds and pistachios chopped
1 cup water
Method:
1. Soak the apricots in warm water for 4-5 hours till they turn soft
2. In a pan, add the apricots, water and the sugar and cook covered till the mixture turns a gooey dark brown colour and the sugar dissolves completely. If needed, you can also roughly mash the apricots with a fork
3. Garnish with almond-pistachio slivers. Serve hot with cream or cold with vanilla ice cream (I personally prefer cold with ice cream)
