Sweet Rice Pudding - The Phirni

_MG_9592-edit
I m soo delighted that I have made this lovely pudding and this brings me back to blogging Smile There should be an icebreaker ,when you want to make a comeback and this dessert did the same thing.
My understanding of this dessert was that it would taste  similar to Pal Paysam ( another milk rice pudding made in the traditional south Indian style) . But after compiling this dessert , my notion was proved wrong… This rice pudding is served as Prasad( a token after the prayer) in North India .
