North meets east Phirni with a twist.

Phirni is a variant of the famous European rice pudding which in India is popularly known as payas/payoxh or kheer. Phirni is more popular in North India, Pakistan, Afghanistan & Iran.It has been one of my favorite sweet dish since childhood. My mum made it quite frequently & she is really good at it. My hubby loves kheer ( but avoids it because of all the calories of sugar )so I thought why not try a new version which had the texture and look of Phirni & tasted some what like the famous Eastern India  gur kii kheer (rice pudding with date palm jaggery, just a consolation that jaggery is healthier).

My version of this sweet needs only three ingredients and there you have a fantastic tasting desert on your table .
