Prof. Madhavi Latha - Gulabi badam phirni
Gulabi badam phirni recipe:
Soak 20 whole badam and 4 table spoons of basmati rice separately for an hour. Peel the badam and coarsely grind soaked badam and rice together in a mixer. Boil 1 liter milk in a deep pan and condense it for 15 minutes. Add the badam and rice paste and cook under low flame for 20 minutes. Keep stirring continuously. Add 1 cup of sugar and a pinch of kesar and cook for 15 more minutes to have the phirni ready. Transfer the phirni to a serving bowl. Now on a small tawa, heat 1 table spoon of desi ghee and fry 3 table spoons of broken cashew, pista and almonds together for 2 minutes. Remove the fried nuts and add gulab petals from 1 garden fresh rose. Garnish the phirni with fried nuts and gulab. Relish this festive dish hot or chilled.
