Deliciously Creamy Kesar Phirni Recipe

A Saffron-Infused Dessert Delight!

Ingredients:

• A pinch of Baby saffron (kesar) strands
• 1 liter milk (full cream)
• 4 tablespoons long-grained (basmati) rice
• 6 tablespoons sugar

For Garnish:

• A handful of chopped almonds (badam)
• A few saffron (kesar) strands

Instructions:

1. Soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk and set aside for later use.
2. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water and then soak it in enough water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, drain the water.
3. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the milk and bring it to a boil.
4. Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the boiling milk and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5. Cook the rice in milk until it becomes soft and tender, which should take around 30 minutes.
6. Add the sugar to the rice and milk mixture and continue to cook on low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
7. Add the soaked saffron strands along with the milk to the rice mixture and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
8. Remove the pan from heat and let the phirni cool to room temperature.
9. Once the phirni has cooled down, transfer it to individual serving bowls or a serving dish.
10. Garnish with chopped almonds and a few strands of saffron on top.
11. Refrigerate the phirni for at least 2 hours before serving.
12. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich and creamy Kesar Phirni as a delightful dessert.

Note: You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences. You can also add cardamom powder or rose water for additional flavor if desired.
