Mango Rabri Pannacotta

Nostalgic Blend:
Mango Rabri Panna Cotta is special because it beautifully blends two rich culinary traditions—the Italian panna cotta, known for its silky texture and creamy elegance, and Indian rabri, a slow-cooked, cardamom-kissed milk dessert full of nostalgic flavor.
Creamy vanilla panna cotta merges with the deep, caramelized taste of rabri, then gets brightened up with fresh, sweet mango—a tropical burst of flavour
