POHA PHIRNI
Poha Phirni is a gluten free rich creamy pudding made by using rice flakes and full fat milk. Serve it as it is or with fresh fruits like the way I do.
Ingredients
- 1 cup poha
- 3 cups full fat milk
- 3-4 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1- 1 1/2 cups mixed fruit (chopped)
Instructions
- 1
--- ROAST THE POHA ---
- 2
Roast the rice flakes in a wide pan over medium to low heat mixing all the time till they become a bit crunchy. Be careful not to burn the rice flakes. This step takes about 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Take the pan off the heat and let the rice flakes cool down completely.
- 4
Process the rice flakes in a food processor to a coarse powder. Make sure it doesn't become a fine powder. So process in short bursts.

--- PREPARE POHA PHIRNI ---
- 6
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat.

Bring the milk to a boil. Remember to stir it occasionally so that it does not stick to the bottom.

When the milk begins to boil add the sugar. Mix well to melt the sugar.
- 9
Add the coarsely powdered rice flakes.
- 10
Mix well.

Take the pan off the heat when the mixture becomes thick and almost paste like. On cooling it will further thicken.

- 14
Spoon the phirni into serving bowls.

Put the phirni in the fridge to set and become cold. I left mine for over 3 hours.
