1
Prepare the Base
In a large saucepan, combine the milk and rice flour. Whisk together until the rice flour is fully dissolved.
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
Add Flavorings
Once thickened, add the sugar, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4
Incorporate Rose Water
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rose water. Mix thoroughly to combine.
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
Garnish and Serve
Before serving, sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top for garnish. Serve chilled.
