Mango Phirni
Ingredients
50g rice, soaked in water
1l full cream milk
2 green cardamoms
40g sugar or according to taste
20 almonds, sliced
1 cup mango puree fresh or canned
Method
Soak 50g of rice in water for half an hour. Drain water. Grind rice coarsely in a mixer.
Boil milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add whole green cardamom so that we can take it out later. If using cardamom powder then add it to milk after the rice is done. Let it boil for 5 minutes on low flame stirring in between.
Add coarsely ground rice to milk and let it simmer on low flame till the rice is done and milk is thickened. Keep on stirring in between to avoid lumps. Meanwhile, keep on scratching the milk which has stuck to the sides of the pan and mix it in the phirni. This enhances the taste of phirni.
Milk needs constant attention as it sticks to the bottom and gets burned.
When the rice is cooked add sugar. Keep on stirring till the sugar is dissolved Add half of the sliced almonds and Mango puree. Mix it well. Switch off the flame.
If phirni looks very thick you can add hot milk to adjust its consistency.
Pour it in a bowl and garnish it with sliced almonds. Refrigerate it for 2 hours.
Enjoy the cool Mango Phirni and beat the summer heat.
Tips:
Always cook phirni in a heavy-bottomed pan to avoid sticking it to the pan.
Keep stirring the phirni otherwise, it will stick to the bottom of the pan.
Always refrigerate it before serving.
