Phirni

Phirni is a milk and semolina sweet dish, that can be served as dessert or served at breakfast with puris.  Though most people normally use rice paste, I prefer to use fine semolina...It's easy to make... and since there is sugar in the condensed milk, its not necessary to add sugar..but if you prefer it more sweet to suit your palate, you can add as necessary..

Phirni

Ingredients:

75 g fine semolina 

1/2 tin Condensed milk

1/2 L milk

3 cardamom, powdered

2 tsp rose water

3 tsp ghee

A few rose petals or chopped dried fruits (pistas, almonds)

Method:

Bring milk to a boil.  Lower the heat and add the condensed milk and semolina.  Keep stirring continuously while adding the semolina or else it will form lumps.  Cook on a low heat, stirring continuously so that it does not stick to the bottom of the vessel.

Bring to a boil.  Cook for 5 minutes.  Take off from heat and add the cardamom powder and mix well.  Pour  the ghee on top.  Do not mix.  Let it cool completely.  Add the rosewater and then mix well.

Refridgerate for 2 hours.  Serve chilled garnished with rose petals or the dried fruits.
