RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Mango Phirni

1. Rinse the rice a couple of times. Add water to the rice and soak for 30-45 minutes.
2. Add the mangoes to a blender and blend to make a smooth puree. Once soaked, drain the water and transfer the rice to a towel, spreading it into an even layer. Let it air-dry completely.
3. Once the rice is completely dried, transfer it to a mixer grinder and grind to a coarse texture. Make sure not to over-grind. Transfer the coarse rice powder to a small mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of chilled milk and mix well to combine. Soak it in the milk for 10 minutes before adding it to the phirni.
4. Set a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add 4 cups of milk and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Once the milk is boiled, add the milk-soaked rice, making sure to stir while adding the rice. Cook for 18-20 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring often. Keep stirring continuously and scrape the sides throughout the cooking.
5. Once the phirni starts to thicken, turn the heat to low. Add the sugar and mix well. Stir continuously and cook until the rice grains are cooked. When the sugar dissolves completely, add the ground cardamom and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
6. Next, add the mango puree and mix until combined. Cook for 5-6 minutes on low heat or until the phirni thickens. Add the chopped nuts and mix well.
7. To set, transfer the phirni immediately into soaked earthen pots or any ramekins. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours or overnight to set.
8. Once set, remove them from the refrigerator and garnish with chopped mangoes and nuts. Serve mango phirni chilled.

RECIPE NOTES

1. For the best flavors and texture, use mangoes that are ripe and sweet. Alphonso mangoes are a wonderful choice for Indian-style desserts, but you can use any variety of mangoes that are easily available.
2. You can also use canned or frozen mangoes for making the puree.
3. Make sure to stir the milk and rice mixture continuously to prevent sticking and burning.
