Phirni
Phirni is a popular north Indian dessert recipe especially in the state of Punjab.

It is traditionally served in earthenware bowls also known as matkis, garnished with chopped nuts and silver leaf. It is one of the easiest desserts you can make anytime.




You can also add a pinch of cardamom powder, but since I don't like the flavor of cardamom, I've not used in this recipe.

You may also try more dessert recipes like rasmalai, sabudane ki kheer, seviyon ka zarda
