Mango Phirni | Mango Rice Pudding

Mango phirni is decadent mango dessert which is ideal for the summer season.

Phirni is a very popular Indian dessert. It is basically a rice pudding made with milk and coarse rice paste. Mango phirni is a variation of the original dish. In this, mango puree is added to the milk and rice mixture. Then it is poured into small earthen clay pots and garnished with chopped nuts or mango.

This Indian dessert has a creamy yet grainy texture. It is mildly sweet and tastes incredible when served chilled. It is a very flavourful dish and if you are looking for an eggless dessert option, then give this a try.
