Firni is a kind of pudding made with rice, somewhat similar to Kheer or Payasam. It is of thick consistency and is served chilled traditionally in earthen bowls. I don't really have a sweet tooth nor does my husband have, but we relish Firni as it isn't very sweet and is a light and flavorful dessert!
I added Kesar (Saffron) to it. You may add cardamom powder, rose water, nuts, raisins etc. Mango, Strawberry or Sitafal pulp can be added to make (particular) Fruit Firni..!
