This is tempting. Almost bit off the screen of my monitor.
On the same theme as the recipe, since I have experimented with a large variety of dessert combos - rabri also goes well with this.
Then, rabri or ice cream with GJs, rabri or ice cream with maal puas, rabri or ice cream with khubani ka meetha...rabri with good old jalebis is deadly.
The rabri has to be quite thick, granular and with plenty of dry fruits for best results.
