Steps

30 minutes

1

Wash and Soak rice for 30-45 mins, strain the water and make a paste in a blender with 5tbsp milk. Keep aside.
2

Soak pistachios in 1/4cup lukewarm water for 30 mins,
then add to the blender to make a paste with water.
3

Heat milk in a heavy bottomed pan, add the rice paste and keep stirring so that there is no lump.
Keep the flame on low.
4

When the rice cooked completely then add the pistachio paste and saffron strands stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add sugar at this time and keep stirring until sugar melts.
Turn off flame.
You can also add a drop of green colour with pistachio paste which I exclude.
5

Let the phirni cool down at room temperature. Keep it in refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
Serve chilled firni garnished with some slivers of pistachio. I also add a edible red fondant flower in the center.
