Purani Dilli Phirni | Authentic Phirni Recipe | Creamy & Rich Indian Dessert

Welcome to Osama Jalali's Food World ❤️ Today we're making Purani Dilli Phirni, a rich, creamy and aromatic traditional rice dessert made with full-fat milk, soaked basmati rice, cashews, cardamom and kewra water. The milk is slowly reduced before adding the smooth rice paste, creating a thick and creamy texture. Cashew paste adds richness, while coconut, cardamom and kewra bring beautiful aroma and flavour. Chilled and garnished with almonds, this classic phirni is the perfect way to finish a traditional meal. 🥣 Ingredients • Full Fat Milk – 2 litres • Green Cardamom Powder – 1 tsp • Soaked Rice Paste – 100 grams • Sugar – 150 grams • Cashew Paste – 50 grams • Desiccated Coconut Powder – 25 grams • Kewra Water – 1 tbsp • Almonds – 20 grams, for garnish 👨‍🍳 Method Add full-fat milk to a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the milk for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add green cardamom powder while the milk is reducing. Soak basmati rice for about an hour, then grind it into a fine paste. Add the rice paste to the reduced milk and stir continuously. Cook for around 10 minutes until the rice is completely cooked and the mixture begins to thicken. Add sugar and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the cashew paste and keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Cook for another 5 minutes until the phirni becomes thick and creamy. Add desiccated coconut powder and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, add kewra water and mix well. Once the mixture starts bubbling, switch off the flame. Transfer to serving bowls, garnish with sliced almonds and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving. ⭐ Why You'll Love This Recipe • Traditional Purani Dilli-style phirni • Rich and creamy texture • Made with full-fat milk and basmati rice • Flavoured with cardamom and kewra • Perfect served chilled • A classic Indian sweet for special occasions #PuraniDilliPhirni #Phirni #PhirniRecipe #RicePudding #IndianDessert #TraditionalRecipe #PuraniDilli #DesiFood #OsamaJalali
