Ingredients:

1 litre Full Cream milk

1 Cup Alphonso Mango Pulp

¼ Cup Basmati Rice

½ Cup Sugar

10-12 Strands of Kesar(saffron)

¼ tsp Cardamom powder (Optional)

2 tbsp Pistachios & Almonds (Finely Sliced)

Method:

Wash and soak rice for 30 minutes. Drain the water and grind it coarsely. Now in a heavy bottom pan, bring the milk to a boil. Now add coarse ground rice and allow it to cook on low flame. Add Kesar and Simmer it till the milk reduces to 3/4th of its volume and the rice gets completely cooked. Stir continuously to avoid scorching of milk and formation of lumps. Now, add sugar and keep stirring continuously. Cook for another 5-6 minutes. Allow the phirni to simmer until it reaches thick consistency.Now add cardamom powder and give it a quick stir. Take the phirni off the heat and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Now, add mango pulp and mix well. Pour the mango phirni into earthen clay pots or regular serving bowls and garnish it with almonds and pistachios. Chill for few hours before serving.
