Sugar-Free Phirni for Eid: A Sweet Treat for Diabetes Patients

Ingredients:

Rice - 1/4 cup Milk - 1 l Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp Saffron - a few strands Sugar substitute - (stevia, erythritol, etc.) Finely chopped nuts - cashews, almonds, pistachios

Soak the rice and boil the milk

Wash the rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Then, grind the rice coarsely. Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. When the milk starts to boil, reduce the heat.

Add rice and cook

Add the ground rice to the milk and stir constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the milk on low heat until the rice is cooked well (for 20-25 minutes) and the phirni thickens.

Enhance sweetness and aroma

Add the sugar substitute, cardamom powder, and saffron (if using). Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Cool and garnish

Let the phirni cool down. Then, garnish it with finely chopped nuts and serve chilled. You can change the quantity and type of nuts according to your preference.

Special tips

To make the phirni more delicious, you can also add a few drops of rose water or kewra water. If you want to thicken the phirni even more, you can add a little cornstarch to it.
