Vegan Date Phirni

#holisweets #goldenapron Vegan Date Phirni is a creamy pudding made by boiling ground rice in almond milk ,dates, sugar and is flavored with cardamom powder. It is a variation to the Indian pudding "Phirni" where ground rice is cooked with milk along with sugar, cardamom and saffron. It is vegan and gluten free too. A perfect treat to celebrate for coming festival of Holi. https://pepkitchen.com/recipe/vegan-date-phirni/

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Drain the soaked rice. Grind the soaked and drained rice to a coarse powder in the mixer grinder. Grind into a coarse powder.

* Step 2

Grind the chopped medjool date in the grinder. Add chopped walnuts to it. Grind the chopped dates and walnuts together into a paste.

* Step 3

Heat a thick bottom pan or a non stick pan. Add the coarse rice powder and saute for half minute on low heat. Add almond milk to it and mix well at medium heat. Stir constantly to avoid sticking at the bottom. Add the date and walnut paste and mix well.

* Step 4

Bring the mixture to boil stirring continuously. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Add sugar and mix well and cook till the mixture thickens on high heat. Stir continuously.

* Step 5

The mixture is thickened and is ready. Remove from heat. Pour in the serving bowl. (Traditionally phirni is served in small earthern bowls known as shikoras). I have served in the ramekin bowl. Garnish with blanced and sliced almonds, pistachio and cardamom powder. Cool the phirni. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours.
