phirni is often made during functions or celebrations.  It is a rice pudding and is one of the easiest dessert which one can make.

Ground rice is often used for making phirni.  Kheer is another variety but it is made from whole rice.

The method of making phirni is very easy.  This dessert uses ingredients which are readily available at home like milk, sugar and rice.  Addition of nuts and saffron gives a nice taste and aroma to the dessert.

The key to getting a good phirni is grinding the rice very well.  It has a thick creamy texture and is often served in earthern pots.

Recently, I saw in chef Ajai in his show serving phirni in shikoras.  Shikora is an earthen pot in which phirni is served.  phirni tastes great when served chilled.  So after preparation, refrigerate it for 2 hours before serving.

Let us see how to make phirni recipe with step by step photos.
