Phirni recipe | Dudhi Phirni |bottle gourd firni


Firni is part-and-parcel of festivities in northern india.

It is traditional rice custard made with rich, creamy milk and served in earthenware, which makes it all the more pleasing to the palate.

This is a delicious creamy  pudding. Phirni is made with rice, milk and sugar, and has wonderful creamy texture. Ingredients are the same as Rice Kheer but the taste is very different.


Phirni has many variations like kesar phirni,carrot phirni,Badam phirni,mango phirni strawberry phirni,apple phirni,etc
