Phirni is an Indian rice pudding made by cooking ground rice with milk. It is a rice pudding made using rice and usually flavored with saffron and garnished with lots of nuts and saffron . Unlike normal "Payesh" which uses whole rice, phirni uses ground rice and therefore, it is quick to make. I have garnished the Phirni with some chocolate chips to give some extra twist. Here is my version of easy recipe.
Ingredients:
1. Milk - 1 litre (full cream milk)
2. Rice - 1/3 cup
3. Saffron - 1 pinch
4. Sugar - as per taste
5. Chocolate chips - for garnishing
Process:
1. Wash and soak rice for an hour. Drain the water and blend the rice in a blender to make a coarse powder.
2. In a heavy bottom pan, add milk and let the milk come to boil. Add the powdered rice and saffron to the milk. Keep stirring the phirni throughout while cooking, otherwise the rice will stick at the bottom of the pan.
3. Simmer the heat and cool till the milk is reduced to 1/2 and phirni has reached the desired consistency. (Note : the phirni will further thicken on cooling)
4. Add sugar and cook for a minute before switching off the heat. Let the phirni cool down in room temperature.
5. Transfer the phirni in earthen bowls (if not available, use regular bowls) and garnish with chocolate chips and let it chill for a few hours before serving.
