Notes
- Select ripe and juicy apricots, khubani for the best flavor. Ripe apricots are naturally sweet and will enhance the taste of your chuski well.
- If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for a few hours or overnight. This will soften them and make them easier to blend.
- Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
- Apricots can be quite sweet on their own. Taste the mixture before freezing. Adjust the sweetness by adding honey, sugar, or any sweetener you like.
- A splash of lemon juice balances the sweetness and adds a refreshing tang to the chuski.
- Once frozen, demold the chuski and serve them chilled. The texture should be icy and refreshing.
- Additionally, you can garnish with chopped nuts or mint leaves.
