Phirni Ingredients
¼ cup Basmati rice
4 cups Milk
½ cup Sugar
¼ tsp Rose water
1 Cardamom powdered
2 tbsp Pistachios
1 pinch Saffron
How to make easy phirni at home
Instructions
Wash and soak basmati rice in hot water for 15 minutes with 1/4 cup water.
Then grind it to a paste. I ground to a fine rava/ suji texture.
Bring 4 cups of milk to boil in a heavy bottomed vessel.
Once it boils, simmer for 10 minutes.
After that, add the ground rice gradually stirring in. It easily gets stuck at the bottom and high chances of getting burnt.
So keep mixing covering all the bottom, scraping the bottom.
Once thick add sugar and it will loosen the texture furthermore. You can add more milk if it is too thick.
Let the sugar melt and blend well. Switch off the flame.
Cool down completely and add rose water or cardamom. Mix well.
Refrigerate and serve chilled with nuts, saffron topping. I soaked pistachios in warm water for 15 mins and chopped it for the garnish.
Notes
Add sugar after the rice gets cooked.
Make sure to keep stirring to avoid lumps in the texture.
Soaking rice helps in creamy texture as well as easy cooking.
Add the flavouring agents towards the end. This brings out the best flavour.
