Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large saucepan, combine the milk and rice flour. Whisk together until the rice flour is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Once thickened, add the sugar, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Rose Water

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rose water. Mix thoroughly to combine.

  5. 5

    Set the Firni

    Pour the mixture into serving bowls or a large dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Before serving, sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top for garnish. Serve chilled.
