About Thandai Phirni
Thandai Phirni is a delicious twist on the classic Phirni recipe (Indian rice pudding). This Indian dessert needs just 6 ingredients to come together. Homemade thandai powder is added to the rice pudding, making it appropriate to serve during the festival of Holi. You can also serve this flavored phirni for other festivals and special occasions. You can use any flavorful and aromatic rice such as Gobindo Bhog, Indrayani, Ambemohar, etc. Milk – Use whole milk (full-fat milk) for the rich and creamy texture. To make a vegan version, you can use plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, or oats. Almond milk works best for me! Thandai Powder – You can make Thandai powder at home or buy it at a store. Homemade tastes the best, though. Others – You will also need ghee, granulated sugar, and saffron. Saffron is optional, but it gives a beautiful orangish hue and a delicious flavor to the phirni, so try not to miss it. Adjust the sugar according to your taste.
