Chilled & Refreshing Rice Pudding (Chilled Phirni) for your Taste Buds

Phirni or Rice Pudding has always been amongst my favorite desserts. I don’t exactly remember when and how I first got to taste it, but it was ‘Love at First Bite’ for me.😍😍

I was always under the impression that Phirni is a very difficult dish to prepare and so I never even thought of trying it myself. And so I used to request a friend of mine, Pooja Shrotriya, to make it for me every time I felt like having it. Like a sweetheart that she is, she used to make it especially for me and get it.

But this arrangement went on only till I was in Delhi. And then I shifted to Malaysia. I was on my own and had to rely on my own self to take care of my cravings. For long I did not even try to attempt to make Phirni. I was convinced that it was not my cup of tea.

But then one day while searching for some easy dessert recipe, I stumbled upon the Phirni recipe and when I saw the video, it looked simple and easy, with very few ingredients. I tried it that day itself as fortunately, I had all the ingredients at home. Walla! I did it… 💃💃 I made this delicious Rice Pudding on my own…

Now I am an expert in it. Sharing this Super Easy Phirni Recipe with you guys. It hardly takes 20-30 minutes to cook. Looking at the ingredients you will realize too that it is healthy too.

You can have a small bowl of Phirni every day without any guilt (as a meal on its own of course).
