Mango Phirni
This mango phirni is a quick Pakistani dessert made with roasted semolina and mango pulp infused with saffron and cardamom.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina
- 3 cups Milk
- ½ cup Sweet condensed milk optional
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- ½ cup Sugar
- ½ - 1 cup Mango pulp
- 1 teaspoon Green Cardamom powder
- pinch saffron
- 1 Mango cut into cubes for garnish
- 1 tablespoon Pistachios, chopped or sliced
Instructions
- In a pot on low heat add Semolina and dry roast it for few minutes
- Increase heat to low-medium and add milk and mix well until combined. Add mango pulp and cook few minutes. Then add rice flour and continue to cook.
- Adjust the amount of sugar for sweetness or amount of mango pulp or flavor if needed. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk, or sweetened condensed milk is a great option to adjust for both sweetness and thickness.
- Let the mixture cook and thicken, for 10 minutes, or until it coats the back of a spoon. Add the green cardamom powder and saffron, if using and mix well.
- Pour into individual serving bowls, and top with sliced or crushed pistachios and chopped mangoes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until ready to serve. Serve chilled.
