Firni is a classic Indian recipe for a traditional blancmange (set dessert) thickened with ground rice and flavoured with rose water, cardamom and pistachio nuts.
Ingredients:
720ml milk
3 tbsp ground rice
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground
cardamom
1 tbsp rose water (or 3 drops rose essence)
1 tbsp blanched pistachio nuts, chopped
1 tbsp blanched pistachio nuts
slivered almonds, toasted, to garnish
Method:
Combine a little of the milk with the ground rice to form a smooth paste. Add the remaining milk to a pan along with the sugar and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon. Take off the heat then stir in the ground rice mixture before returning to the heat. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
Continue boiling, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Take off the heat then stir in the cardamom, rose water and chopped pistachios. Stir thoroughly to combine then allow to cool slightly before pouring into individual dessert dishes. Allow to cool and set then garnish with the remaining pistachio nuts and the toasted almonds.
This dish can be served either warm or chilled.
