STEP 2

Take a ladle of hot milk and add few saffron threads and set it aside.

STEP 3

Now, add rice paste and start stirring continuously to avoid the lumps and cook for few mins until rice is cooked. ( Keep mixing continuously in low flame after rice paste is added else it will form lumps ).

STEP 4

Once rice is cooked add sugar and cardamom powder. Stir well and cook on a low flame.

STEP 5    

Add saffron milk and almond-cashew paste and mix well. Once the mixture is thick more like pudding consistency switch off the flame.               

STEP 6                                      

Let it cool for sometime. Then add 1/2 cup mango pulp/puree and mix well till combined.

       - Refrigerate for about 30 min-

( Do not forget to chill this Phirni in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, because it tastes the best when it is cold ).

Take the phirni out after 30 min. Garnish it with chopped nuts and few fresh mango pieces on top, and your lip smacking sweet is ready to serve.
