Phirni or Kheer
This is an exotic Indian dessert - sweet and simple :-)
Ingredients
Basmati rice 2 & 1/2 tbsp
Milk 3 cups
Sugar 1/2 cup
Condensed Milk 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder 1 tsp
Saffron A small pinch
Cashewnuts 3-4
Badam 2-3
Pista 2-3
Preparation
Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes. Drain and let them dry well. Grind it to a fine powder till you get a sooji ( semolina) consistency.
Soak saffron in a tbsp of warm milk.
Boil milk in a pan and when it starts boiling, add the powdered rice and stir it keeping the stove in a low flame to avoid lumps and getting burnt.
When it starts thickening, add sugar and stir it well.
Now add saffron and cardamom powder ( i have used crushed cardamom seeds ).
After stirring for two minutes, add the condensed milk to it. You will get a semi thick consistency.
Garnish it with saffron, chopped cashews, badam, almonds, pistas... as per your taste :-)
When it is warm, pour them into a serving bowl and refrigerate it for 3 to 4 hours.
