Steps
- 1Drain the soaked rice and add it to a mixer grinder. Grind the rice coarsely by adding a little water or milk. The texture should be of fine grains and should not become a paste.
- 2Boil milk in a heavy bottomed pan. Once it starts boiling, add green cardamom into the milk.
- 3Add sugar in the boiling milk and then add the ground rice into it. Stir continuously for at-least 20 minutes or till the rice gets cooked and the mixture turns slightly thick.
- 4When it starts getting thick, turn off the heat and let the phirni cool properly.
- 5Pour the creamy phirni in kullads (earthen pots), top with pistachios and cover the pots. Keep it in fridge for 2 to 3 hours. Take it out, garnish it with sliced almonds or pistachios and serve it chilled.
- 6Serve Creamy Phirni as a dessert after your scrumptious meal or make it during Ramadan to celebrate the festival.
- 7Serve Creamy Phirni with a delicious meal of Aloo Gobi Ki Sabzi, Ajwain Puri and Boondi Raita on a weekend for brunch or a meal.
