Phirni is a traditional dessert made with ground rice, sugar, milk and cardamoms. Make this creamy and delicious pudding. Although both phirni and rice kheer look similar, they are actually made differently. Phirni is made from ground rice, while Rice Kheer is made from whole rice. Good quality basmati rice is the preferred rice to make phirni. Make sure to grind the rice into a coarse powder and not a fine powder. You can add your choice of flavours and spices too. This one has cardamom powder, Rose syrup and saffron. You can serve this cold in earthen pots to get that earthy flavour. Do make for your loved ones and let us know how they like it.
