I have never ever tried phirni before. Even though it is such a easy peasy recipe to make, somehow i have never tried it. I have tried rice kheer before, this one is similar to that with slight variations.

I made this rose flavoured one, and it turned out in very pretty colour and flavour. Enjoyed it so much.

How to Make Rose Phirni

(I used rosemilk essence, so added just few drops. If you are using rose syrup, add 2 to 3 tblspn)

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
