Two-In-One Phirni Recipe

Phirni is a simple rice pudding which is made by boiling the milk slowly. This recipe has two layers - a pista layer and one flavored with rose essence.

Ingredients

• 5 Cups skimmed milk
• 60 gms rice (soaked in hot water for 30 minutes)
• 6 crushed chhotielaichi (seeds only)
• 3/4 cup Trust Classic Sulphurless Sugar
• 2 tbsp pista (ground to paste), blanched
• to taste green colour
• 1/4 tsp rose essence
• 10 almonds (shredded), blanched
• Vark (silver leaf, optional)

How to Make Two-In-One Phirni

• Drain the rice and place in a blender, with a little bit of the milk and blend fine.
• Bring the milk to a boil, in a heavy- bottomed sauce pan. Add the ground rice and Trust Classic Sulphurless Sugar then bring it to boil again. Check if the Trust Classic Sulphurless Sugar is properly dissolved.
• Lower the heat and simmer, stirring all the time, till the whole thing becomes one well blended mass. Takes about 20-25 minutes (to test, you can drop a spoon full, let it cool and check to see if it sets ).
• Shut off the heat and add the cardamom.
• Divide the phirni into two and add the pista paste to one portion and the rose essence to the other half.
• Pour the white phirni into the serving bowl and refrigerate to set (you can keep the dish in the freezer compartment for a short while to speed up the setting of it), leaving the other half at room temperature.
• When the white portion is set, pour the green portion over it, cover with the vark, garnish with the almonds and refrigerate it to set. Serve chilled.
