    Phirni | Firni | Strawberry Phirni

    1

    Phirni is a rich milk based Indian dessert prepared with basmati rice. I would say it's a version of thick Kheer. Strawberry flavours makes it super yum. Chil dessert is perfect for hot summer.

    After a longtime I am writing a guest post:-)

    Couple of weeks back Shalini from "SOMETHING'S COOKING..RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE!"  approached me for a guest post, to be posted for the month of May. Though I was happy to write for her space, due to my India trip I couldn't give her a post by May. I told her my situation and Shalini gave me the freedom of taking my own time 🙂

    I’ve known Shalini for a long time  and was happy when she asked me to do a guest post for her.  I always admire the way she maintains two blogs separately. Whether its her poem in "Tales of Tomatoes", or interesting recipes in food blog, shalini makes it exquisite. Many of her Kerala specials are in my do list.

    Thanks a lot Shalini, for giving the opportunity to write a guest post for you...

    Hot summer calls for a cool dessert. Here is a easy and delicious summer Spl.  Richness of milk with rice and strawberry makes a great dessert

      This is definitely a wonderful cooling dessert for the summer time. Love the strawberries and what looks like pistachios.
