Ingredients
For the Phirni
- 3 Tbsp Basmati Rice
- 1 ltr Milk
- 6 Tbsp Sugar
For the Mango Flavor
- 1 cup Mango Puree
- 9-10 drops Mango Essence
For the Garnish
- 1/2 cup Nuts (cashews, almonds), chopped
Instructions
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps achieve a fluffier phirni. Soak the rice in water for 1 hour, then drain and grind with 1/4 cup of water to a semi-fine, grainy paste. Set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the milk over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until it reduces to 3/4 of its original quantity. The heavy bottom helps prevent scorching and ensures even cooking.
- Lower the flame and gradually whisk in the rice paste. Continuously stir until the paste is fully incorporated into the milk and the mixture begins to thicken. This prevents lumps and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Add the sugar and continue stirring until it dissolves completely. Ensure there are no lumps. This adds sweetness to the phirni.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Stir in the mango puree and mango essence until well combined. This infuses the phirni with the vibrant mango flavor.
- Pour the mango phirni into individual serving bowls. Garnish with chopped nuts or fresh mango pieces. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the phirni to chill completely. Serve cold.
