Phirni

Ingredients

• 200g of firni rice
• 1 liter of milk
• 200ml of condensed milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of cane sugar
• 100g of fresh or dried fruit, for garnish
• 1 teaspoon of saffron powder (optional)

Method

1. Wash the firni rice and cook it in plenty of water for 15-20 minutes until it is soft. Strain the rice and set it aside.
2. In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil with cardamom, cinnamon, and cane sugar.
3. Add the rice and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
4. Add the condensed milk and sugar, stirring well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the firni is thick and slightly dry.
6. Turn off the heat and add the saffron powder if you want a bright yellow color.
7. Let the firni cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a bowl and garnish with fresh or dried fruit.
8. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best taste.
