Black Rice And Kiwi Phirni (An Exotic Rice Pudding)

4.40 from 5 votes

An easy and healthy dessert made with Black rice. I have used jaggery as a sweetener to bring out the naturally nutty taste of the black rice. Instead of using nuts of any kind, I decided to top it up with a fruit. Makes it healthier and the acidity in the fruit acts as the perfect foil to the sweetness of the phirni. Though had quite a few fruits stocked up but I decided to pick on the Kiwi as it makes for a lovely contrast with the lavender hues of the black rice .

Instructions
 

  • Soak the black rice grains for 4 hours. Drain and spread on a plate to air dry. Once the surface moisture evaporates, grind it into a powder.
  • Mix the rice powder in the cold milk.
  • Boil the milk till it reduces to half of the original volume.
  • Pour in the rice mixture and keep stirring till it starts to thicken a bit. Once the consistency reaches that of a custard, mix in the powdered jaggery.
  • Remove from the flame and allow it to cool down a bit. Pop it into the fridge for a couple of hours.
  • Just before serving, peel and chop the kiwi into thin half-moon slices.
  • Pour the phirni into dessert glasses. Top it up with the kiwi and serve.
