Firni is one of the delicious Indian dessert cooked with Rice ( flour/ Powder) and milk with various other ingredients.
When Mango is in season, I prepare this yummy Mango Firni.
So prepare this special dessert for your special people on this Rakhi or any festival and celebrations.
I will share the link of my Yummy Kesar Firni and Beetroot Firni too.
When I get the Clay/ terracotta flat bowls I make use of it because it's the way Firni is set in it and served in Kolkata.
Soak the clays/ terracotta bowls in water for few hours and wash it thoroughly and dry it ( not sun dry ) leave to air dry for half an hour to an hour, it should not have visible water on it.
If you don't soak and give the water treatment to the Clay bowls it may crack when you will put the hot Firni in it because Firni is put in the bowl immediately after cooking, levelled and set, cooled to room temperature and chilled, hence you get the earthy flavour in it.
If you don't have the clay bowls use your regular dessert bowls in which you can serve once it's chilled ...no issue ☺️ Enjoy !

Steps

40 minutes

1

Prepare the mango puree. I always love to add fresh mango puree than tinned and hence I make it in the mango season.
Peel and take separate the pulp from the seed and blend it in mixer grinder from a fine lumpfree puree.
Grind the sugar into powder along with saffron strands.
2

Wash and soak the rice for 30 minutes, drain the excess water out of the rice and take 1/4 cup milk (from 1 litre milk) and make a paste out of if (don't make it too fine)
3

Soak the Cashew in warm water for at least half an hour, make it into a paste along with a small amount of water, just to help it in grinding and making a paste
4

Add mango puree to the milk and cook it for almost 15-20 minutes, the milk & mango puree mixture will start thickening.Now lower the flame and add the rice paste to the milk mango mixture. Immediately start stirring it so that no lumps form and keep cooking it for 8-10 minutes.
5

Then add the Cashew paste and cook for another 5 minutes or so, after this add the powdered Saffron sugar and cardamom and mango essence (optional) mix well, the Firni will thin down a bit after adding sugar but in no time start thickening again in about 5 minutes, if it doesn't drop easily from the spatula that means your Firni is ready. Immediately, put the firni in the clay Firni bowls (optional) and level it with the help of knife or palette knife or in any serving bowls.
6

Let it come to room temperature and then chill it in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours, garnish with more mango slices/ cubes, pistachio and rose petal (optional) and serve chilled. Enjoy !
