Notes
Mango: Use ripe, sweet, and non-fibrous mangoes for the best taste and texture.
Rice: Grind the rice to a coarse paste. This helps achieve the traditional phirni texture.
Cook Milk Mixture: Cook the rice and milk mixture on medium low heat and stir continuously to prevent burning at the base of the pan and to avoid ground rice forming lumps.
Thickness: The phirni should have a thick, pudding-like consistency. It will thicken further as it cools.
Sweetness: Add sugar according to the sweetness of the mangoes. If the mangoes are very sweet, you may need less sugar.
