Yasss! So satisfying! Perfect dessert for the summer. š
Looks good, but do you really think mango and pistachio work well together? Seems odd.
Totally agree! This dessert is a game changer. I made it last week and it was gone in minutes! š®š
Just a warning, the recipe didn’t say how long it should be cooked for. I guessed 10 mins and ruined it. -_-
10 mins? That’s not long enough for anything on a stove! It should thicken up doing low heat for at least 20 mins, maybe more. Did you even read the whole recipe? š§
I totally get your frustration! Timing is super important in recipes. Maybe next time, just keep an eye on it after the sugar goes in? I love phirni and this recipe looks great otherwise!
Mango and pistachio? Yummy! But cardamom is too strong for me. š¬
Is there a way to make this without milk? Iām lactose intolerant.
This phirni was so delish! I can’t stop eating it! š
I’m so glad you liked it! Phirni is one of my favorite desserts! š
I followed all the steps, but mine turned out too watery. What did I do wrong?
Maybe you added too much milk or didn’t cook it long enough? It needs time to thicken up, keep stirring!
Quick and easy to make! I added extra mango. So good! š„
How do you even make rice into a paste? Sounds weird. š
It’s actually pretty cool! The rice becomes creamy when cooked in milk. Just give it a try! š
Sounds kinda gross. I’m not sure if blending rice is a good idea… can you eat it??
