Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Milk
1/2 Green Cardamoms
150g Rice
150g Water
100g Sugar
2 Saffron
3-4 Strawberries
1 Strawberry (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Rice Paste:

    • In a mixie, grind together 150g rice and 150g water to form a smooth paste. Set aside.
  2. Boil Milk:

    • Bring milk to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
  3. Add Flavors:

    • Stir in powdered green cardamom for aromatic richness.
  4. Incorporate Rice Paste:

    • Gradually add the prepared rice paste, sugar, and saffron (dissolved in water) into the boiling milk. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Cook and Sieve:

    • Cook until the sugar is fully dissolved and the rice is cooked through. Once done, pass the mixture through a sieve into another bowl to achieve a smooth consistency. Mix well and allow to cool.
  6. Prepare Serving Bowls:

    • Place chopped strawberries in serving bowls, traditionally earthenware “sakoras” in India.
  7. Assemble Phirni:

    • Pour the cooled phirni mixture over the chopped strawberries, distributing evenly.
  8. Chill and Set:

    • Refrigerate the assembled phirni to allow it to set and develop its flavors. This chilling process enhances its taste and texture.
  9. Garnish and Serve:

    • Just before serving, slice a strawberry into a fan shape and use it to garnish the chilled phirni. This adds a touch of elegance to your dessert. Serve chilled and relish the delightful flavors of Phaldari Phirni!

Tips

  • For a richer taste, you can substitute regular milk with condensed milk or evaporated milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of sugar used.
  • Experiment with different fruits such as mangoes or pomegranates for unique variations of this classic dessert.
  • To enhance the aroma, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts like almonds or pistachios on top before serving.

Indulge in the decadent flavors of Phaldari Phirni, a dessert that captures the essence of tradition with a delightful modern twist!
