Phirni is a popular North Indian dessert also known as rice pudding.
Lightly sweetened and can be flavored with various fruits, cardamom, saffron or simply plain...served best chilled!!!
Phirni can be great substitute for an Ice-Cream or any other high calorific desserts. In my experience, every one with a sweet tooth craving will relish this, even my six month old did :)
