ABOUT Plum And Date Phirni RECIPE

Phirni is a North Indian sweet basically prepared during festival seasons. Phirni is made from rice. To enhance the flavour of basic phirni I added plums and dates.

Ingredients Serving: 3

Rice ¼ cup
Full Cream Milk ½ Liter
Cardamoms 6-7 peeled and powdered
Saffron strands 7-8 (dissolved in little milk and crushed well )
Plums 8-9 (skin and seed removed) roughly chopped
Dates 5-6 (seeds removed) roughly chopped
Sugar ¼ cup
Water 2 tbsp

Instructions

Soak rice for 1-2 hours.
Boil milk in a pan. Take some hot milk in a grinder and grind the rice with it.
Pour this rice mixture into milk and let it boil for 10-12 minutes.
Add saffron milk and half the cardamom powder.
In another pan take sugar and add water.
As soon as the sugar dissolves add the chopped plums and dates to it.
Let it boil for 8-10 minutes.
Add the remaining cardamom to it.
Now let both the mixtures cool off completely.
Keep some plum date mixture for garnishing and pour the remaining into the rice-milk mixture.
Refrigerate for an hour.
Garnish with the remaining plum date mixture and serve chilled.
