تعریف و معنای "phirni"

What is "phirni"?

Phirni is a traditional Indian dessert that is similar to rice pudding. The dessert is made with ground rice that has been cooked in milk, sugar, and flavored with cardamom, saffron, and rose water. The mixture is then chilled until it thickens and is garnished with nuts, such as pistachios or almonds, and dried fruits such as raisins. Phirni is usually served in small earthenware pots or bowls and is a popular dessert during festivals and special occasions. The dish can be traced back to Mughal times in India and has since become a staple of North Indian cuisine.
