Khubani ka meetha or qubani ka meetha is an Indian dessert made from dried apricots.[2] It is a part of Hyderabadi cuisine and is a common feature at Hyderabadi weddings.
History[edit]
Khubani or khobani (خوبانی) is Urdu for apricot; it is believed that apricots were introduced to India by Central Asians.[2]
Ingredients[edit]
Dried apricots from Afghanistan are especially prized for their flavour. Khubani ka meetha is a very popular dessert of India's Hyderabadi cuisine.
Preparation of the dish involves boiling apricots with syrup until they assume the consistency of a thick soup or compote.[3] The dessert is topped with blanched almonds or apricot kernels, and is traditionally garnished with malai (extra thick cream, ideally from buffalo milk), but also with custard or ice cream. The dessert is normally served hot with malai.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
