Phirni | Firni | An Indo-Pakistani Dessert

Friends it is really a long break that I am posting another dessert recipe. This time sharing something different for you. A dessert which is very famous in Muslim community like India,Bangladesh,Pakistan,Iran or Afghanistan. This is the recipe which they all are ready to serve for their Wedding ceremony and on Various festivals like Eid-Ul-Fitr and Eid-Ul-Adha . A typical formula to make kheer with little variant.Tradition wise Firni is served chilled in Earthenware or Clay pots. But Dears I am really fan of this Firni rather than our Payesh or Kheer. And I have no doubt that you will love too.

I got this recipe from my Sister. Her Mother-in-Law is just used to prepare it as she belongs to Muslim Family. So in that case It is very true that it is an authentic Firni or Phirni Recipe. Some people add little green cardamom,pista and many more nuts and essence to make it more rich. But in my sister's in-laws house, they prepare it with just a few ingredients instead they are using nice quality scented rice means a specific rice called Gulab rice one kind of Basmati Rice , which is little scented like Rose. But option is there you can use Flavored Basmati Rice or Samba Rice (Govind Bhog rice) too. Then you can add little Rose water or Dried rose petals or Rose essence whatever you want. It is your Choice! Me too using Good quality Flavored Basmati Rice.

And this is the Dessert I would like to prefer to make it during the upcoming Holi festive. And I know you are also eager to try this Dessert. So Dearies just check out the Recipe here...

Awadhi Paneer Masala | Lucknow Paneer Masala

Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines. So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy. Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases. Hope you got to know that why I had given so many lectures about the Awadhi Cooking. Because today I want share one Awadhi special recipe. It's a simple and easy cooking reci
