Saffron Phirni


               We just had been on a vacation to new York. There we went to Chef Vikas Khanna's Michelin starred restaurant "Junoon". The food was so delicious. We loved each & every item that we ordered. We had saffron phirni as dessert there. I never enjoyed phirni before as much as I did here. I thought of giving it a try myself. & wow mine was equally delicious.



Ingredients:
  • Rice 1/2 cup soaked in water for 4 hours atleast
  • Milk 1 litre
  • Saffron strands soaked in 2 tbsp. warm milk
  • Sugar 1/4 cup (or as per your taste. This much is good for me)
  • Cardamom powder 1 tsp
  • Pistachios & almonds chopped

Method:
  • Drain water from the soaked rice.
  • Grind rice into a coarse paste.
  • Mix some milk to the rice paste to avoid forming lumps into phirni.
  • Keep rest of the milk boiling over medium heat. Once milk is reduced a little, add rice-milk paste & sugar to it. Keep it boiling until it thickens.
  • Later add saffron milk, cardamom powder & chopped almonds - pistachios to it.
  • Stir well.
  • Once the desired consistency is achieved, switch it off.
  • Let it cool. Refrigerate it for 4 hours before serving.
  • Serve chilled or warm !!
  • Garnish with few saffron strands & chopped almonds-pistachios.
Tips:
  • You can add sugar as per your taste.
  • Phirni is very thick compared to rice kheer.
  • It tends to thicken once it cools down.
