For easy of reading, I have included the method in steps.

Soak the rice in water for 15 mins.

Using enough water, grind to a smooth paste

Boil 1/2 liter milk for 7 mins in micro

Remove and add the ground rice paste.

Micro for another 3 minutes.

When done you will see the milk has become think enough

Add sugar and rose essence

Micro again 5 minutes.

Now it has become really thick.

Roast the nuts in ghee and add to the phirni.

Milk – 1/2 Liter
Basmati Rice – 2 tsp
Sugar – 1 cup
Rose Essence 1/2 a cap
Dry fruits
Ghee – 1 tsp

Method to prepare:

Micro Milk at 10 mins (Power High) Check at 7 minutes
Soak rice in water and grind to a smooth paste, add more liquid if required.
Mix the ground rice to the milk, stir well. Micro for the balance 3 minutes
Once done add the rose essence, and sugar. Mix well.
Micro again fro 5 mins for the sugar to get dissolved.
Allow it to cool.
Meanwhile roast the dry fruits in ghee and add to the phirni.
Allow it to cool, refrigerate and serve cool

Notes

• Adding more rice will get the phirni really thick. In a regular phirni, gulkand is also added. But I didn’t add as I didn’t have it on hand.
• When you boil milk in microwave, it normally never boils over. But in high power for 10 minutes it is enough to get it to a very high boiling point.
