Expert Tips

• Mango Phirni is more like pudding so I grinded the rice to a smooth mildy coarse paste as its supposed to be.
• Keep mixing continuously in low flame after rice paste is added else it will form lumps.
• Add nuts of your choice, I used almonds and pistachios.
• Its preferable to use Full Cream Milk, I used Aavin green packet.
• If you have missed the final consitency the Mango Phirni will be very thick so add few tablespoon milk to make it to the right consistency before pouring into serving bowls to set.
• Adjust sugar quantity as per your mango sweetness.
• Use a heavy bottomed pan or even nonstick pan.I used my steel pan.
