Today I am posting the “Badam Phirni”. Phirni is a classic Indian sweet pudding. During this summer I am on a mission to prepare certain cuisines that not only taste good but also helps the body to beat the heat. This is a delicious creamy eggless pudding. Its main difference with kheer, is that kheer uses full grains of rice and phirni uses dust rice grains. Phirni has many flavours and aromas which we can prepare, but today my experiment with cashews and mawa. Hope you like this dessert.
History of Phirni recipe: The history and origin of the phirni is still unknown, but it is believed to be originated during the Mughal Empire in India. In Pakistan as well, this Dish is enjoying a high status among sweet dishes. Since, the olden times, this dish is being prepared with traditional method and even served in traditional style.
Phirni Being a milk based dish, phirni is quite healthful. Rice also adds to the nutritional value of the dish. Even nuts are full of vitamins, proteins and minerals. The only thing that let the consumers to avoid it is the use of sugar. It is a sweet dish, hence not recommended for obese and diabetic patients.
