Khubani Ka Meetha is an authentic dessert that is famous in Hyderabad. It is a perfect finish to a Biriyani meal :) Khubani is dried apricot and the sweet dish prepared with apricots is known as Khubani Ka Meetha. The amount of sugar added is very little (just about a teaspoon), as apricots have a natural sweetness in them. Enjoy the mild yet rich dessert warm or cold with fresh cream.
