Dussehra Special Phirni- How to make Phirni - Rice Kheer
Updated: Oct 12, 2021 | 00:39 IST
Asian cuisines and sweets are closer to local flavours. Over the period, they have evolved to have several variations of the same recipe. And there is always a story behind these cuisines. It can either be of the chef or their origin or their relevance to an occasion. And their flavours shine with these stories. They set you on a nostalgic journey. Phirni, a North Indian dessert pudding, is one such item. Made from ground rice, it is a creamy, thick pudding that melts in your mouth. Despite being closer to a kheer, it is different in texture and is often served cold in earthen bowls, after a heavy Mughlai meal. It creates an experience – a moment when you dine like a royal.
