Phirni is an Indian dessert/sweet dish that is made using milk, rice, and loads of dried fruits. Phirni has many flavors and is a favorite across the length and breadth of India.

Made with different ingredients and exuding different tastes, Phirni is a dense dessert. Kesar Phirni Recipe is one of the flavors of this dessert that is liked by everyone at my home. I liked serving Kesar Phirni in kullads or earthen pots so that the raw, rustic flavors of these small earthen pots blends with dessert.

It is said that serving the sweet dish in earthen pots literally enhances its flavor! Kesar Phirni Recipe is mostly made at home during festivals and auspicious occasions. Some of my friends literally wait for the day when I make Kesar Phirni, they like it so much!

As its creamy and succulent in texture, Kesar Phirni Recipe really sets up the mood for quality conversations. As August has already arrived, the festivals are about to kickstart, so you can make a plan to prepare all your favourite sweets and desserts including Kesar Phirni.

To make Kesar Phirni, rice is soaked in water for a few minutes and then ground into a coarse paste. It is then added to milk and reduced until nicely thickened. Addition of saffron gives this Phirni a delicious flavour and fragrence. Here’s its recipe:
