Mango Phirni- A delicious Indian pudding made with milk ,rice and mango pulp.
Mango phirni is a delicious version of popular North Indian classic dessert -Phirni. It is a very delicious summer pudding to try when we get very nice mangoes at reasonable price. There are so many recipes to make with mangoes and phirni is among the top favourite recipe.
Making phirni is quite easy. It is a easier version of kheer . The traditional method of making kheer takes quite some time i.e 2-3 hours . But this phirni is quicker and easier then making kheer and taste equally delicious.
For making phirni choose good quality ripe mangoes , don’t choose one which are slight unripe as the sour taste will ruin the taste of phirni and can also curdle due to it. So choose sweet and bright colour mangoes, I prefer using Alphonso mangoes to make phirni. If fresh mangoes are not available then you can also use canned mango pulp to make this phirni.
You can use any rice , I have used short grain rice to make it , soak the rice for at least 20 minutes and then grind with little water and make like fine semolina.
You can use rice flour but then the result will not be as good . Rice flour make it like a smooth paste so avoid using rice flour and make it with soaked and ground rice instead.
How To Make Mango Phirni-
Soak rice and then grind to make a coarse paste like fine semolina. Boil milk in a heavy bottom pan for 10 minutes . Now add the rice paste in the milk and stir well to avoid any lumps. let it cook on low heat for 15 minutes so the rice get cooked properly. Add sugar as per taste and then cook for 2-3 minutes so sugar get dissolve completely.
You can add saffron ,cardamom and nuts of your choice or make it simple .
Let the phirni cool down completely at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator . Now peel 3 mangoes and make a puree in a blender . When phirni cool down completely then mix the mnago pulp in it and stir well to mix .
You can set or serve phirni in individual earthen bowls for the authentic touch or set in any bowl of your choice
Refrigerate it for few hours and then serve chilled . When you want to serve then add few chopped mango slices , some chopped pistachio and few dried rose petals or almond slices on top of phirni.
