Strawberry Phirni

Description

Phirni is an Indian dessert which is rich and creamy, prepared with rice paste, full cream milk, dried nuts like almonds or pistachio and cardamom powder. This is usually served cold in clay or earthen pots. We can try different variations of Phirni by adding fruit purées or flavour syrups like rose. Here I have tried strawberries as they are abundantly available during summer. Strawberry Phirni is creamy in texture and easy to make.
