Phirni

 

Phirni is a simple yet tasty dessert. Just a little milk, powdered rice and sugar - that's all what it takes. I took around a quarter cup Basmati rice, a quarter cup sugar and around 750 grams of milk. The rice is to be soaked , drained and then ground into a smooth paste. This is added to around half a cup of milk and made thinner. Now this paste is added to all the milk and boiled. It has to stirred continuously till the mixture turns creamy. Now the sugar is added and stirred. 2 green cardamoms are powdered and added to the mixture. Next the mixture is removed from fire and poured into small bowls and decorated with shredded almonds. Chill the mixture in the fridge and serve.  

Also made some malpuas, a Bengali sweet pie,  last week . Hope to be back with a post on malpuas. Till then wishing happiness. Moushumi
