Phirni is a popular sweet from North India. It is tasty and ideal for any festive occasions. Badam Phirni is rich, tasty and easy to prepare.
Years back, I learnt to make this recipe and it’s been loved by all at home. Thus, I have never tried making the authentic way. May be, the next time I will try for once and see the difference in the two methods. The traditional method involves soaking of rice and grinding to a paste. Here, I use the ready flour that is available at home. One needs to keep on stirring as lumps will be formed easily.
Badam Phirni is a quick dessert recipe ideal to serve for any celebrations or festivities. It is a good way to feed fussy children. Please do note this is not the authentic recipe of making phirni. The authentic recipe requires to soak rice and use the paste.
Ingredients:
- 1 litre milk
- 15 almonds
- 2 tablespoon rice flour
- 6-8 strands saffron
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Method:
- Put milk in a thick bottom pan and put it to boil on a low flame.
- In two tablespoon of warm milk, soak the saffron strands.
- Grind the almonds to a fine powder. Put it in the milk.
- Add sugar to it. Give a stir.
- Now, slowly add the rice flour to it. Keep stirring as lumps are easily formed.
- Once it thickens, add cardamom powder and the soaked saffron to it. Give a stir and put it aside.
- Serve it chilled.
Take a tip:
- Alternatively, soak two tablespoon of rice in water for half an hour. Grind it to a paste and put it in the milk.
- Almonds may be soaked in water but I prefer to use it this way.
- A mixture of cashew and almonds may be powdered and used.
- Instead of cardamom powder and saffron strands, vanilla flavour may be used.
