Local Food in Kanha Madhya Pradesh- Sitaphal Rabdi
Rabdi is a popular traditional Indian dessert. Sitaphal or Sharifa, also known as custard apple, is an interesting ingredient to sweeten the rabdi with seasonal fruit instead of using additional sugar.
Come October, this exotic fruit is available across Central India. If you are lucky you can see it even in the jungle while on a safari.

Serves: 4
Ingredients of Sitaphal Rabdi
- Full cream milk – 1 liter
