Steps

3 hrs

1

Take rice in a bowl. Wash it and soak in water for 3 hrs. Drain the water. Add rice in mixer jar. Pulse it for 3-4 rounds to crush it. It's texture is like suji.
2

Tip : **Do not add water. And do not pulse it to paste. It will be of no use.
3

Boil milk in a heavy bottom pan. Slow the flame. Add elaichi powder and mix. Keep cooking on slow flame till the quantity of the milk is reduced to half.
4

When half the quantity of milk is left then add pulsed rice and mix well. Boil it on high stirring continuously. Slow the flame. Keep cooking on slow flame stirring occasionally.
5

Take kesar in a small bowl and mix with warm milk. Keep aside till use. When the milk mixture is thickened and starts coating the back of the spoon then add sugar. Mix well. Keep stirring on slow flame for 10-15 min.
6

Now add kesar and mix well. Switch off the flame. Add almonds, raisins, kaju and coconut. Mix well. Firni is ready.
7

Transfer it to a serving bowl. Take cling film. Cover firni with it. The top of the firni should touch the cling film.
8

This will prevent from thick layer of malai which sets on the top of the firni when it cools. Let firni cool down completely. Do not remove the cling film. Place the bowl of firni in the fridge for 1 hr.
9

Now take out the bowl from the fridge. Take off the cling film. Garnish top of the firni with chopped almonds. Again place the bowl in the fridge to chill.

Serve chilled.
