Phirni Recipe

Phirni recipe a easy traditional Indian rice pudding like dessert.Phirni / Firni is prepared with full cream milk,basmati rice and sugar as main ingredients.The cooked rice milk mixture is poured into small earthern clay pots garnish with mixed nuts and edible silver leaf. Phirni or Firni is made for festivals like Holi, Diwali and Ramzan.As its ramzan tomorrow, I thought of posting this easy ramzan special dessert.Happy Ramzan to all those who are celebrating the festival!!Phirni is also a very popular dessert in North India(Punjab).This is a basic phirni recipe with kesar that I am posting but there are many variations to phirni like Rose Phirni, Pistachio Phirni, Almond Phirni, Kesar Phirni or with fruits like Mango,Orange Phirni or even Tender Coconut Phirni…etc.

As I don’t have small claypots I poured them into small glass bowls and set them in the fridge.This is one of the easiest desserts I have made in the recent days so I am sure any beginner can try and enjoy the rich delicious dessert.

Firni Recipe

My Notes:

  • Phirni is more like pudding so I grinded the rice to a smooth mildy coarse paste as its supposed to be.
  • Keep mixing continuously in low flame after rice paste is added else it will form lumps.
  • Add nuts of your choice, I used almonds and pistachios.
  • Its preferable to use Full Cream Milk, I used Aavin green packet.
  • If you have missed the final consitency the phirni will be very thick so add few tbsp milk to make it to the right consistency before pouring into serving bowls to set.
  • Adjust sugar quantity as per your preference.
  • Use a heavy bottomed pan or even nonstick pan.I used my steel pan.

    I love Phirni. My mom used to prepare this quite often. She used to incorporate Pineapple pieces into it without curdling the milk. Thanks for bringing back the memories Sharmi.
