I remember , every sunday Dad used to switch role with mom to cook 5 course lunch for us .. It's a ritual , which was religiously followed and we found Dad's cooking skills as good as Mom , sole reason being he used to travel across globe for business purpose and brought back his experience as inspiration for next few cooking session;s . This helped me and my sister learn a lot about world's cuisine .
Although I adopted food habits from dad , but laziness kept me away from kitchen and have not been able to pick even 10% of his sense of flavors and zest to make good food . But one dish which is my all time favorite and I made on multiple occasion during Engg. / MBA days at hostel was PHIRNEE .
Easily available ingredients , low cooking time , lovely flavors with Saffron , Green Cardamom and can be used for 3-4 days as it has high shelf life when Refrigerated .
So let me de-mystify , the art of making " PHIRNEE " with you .
Serves : 4-5 , Cooking Time : 25- 30 Min ,
Ingredients :
1. Milk - 300 ml
2. Sugarfree NATURA - 6 Level Spoon ( 6 gm)
3. Basmati Rice powder - 30 gms
4. Condensed Milk - 10 ml
5. Desi Ghee - 10 ml
6. Cardamom Green (Elaichi) powder - 1 gm
7. Saffron - 2-3 leaf's
8. Cashew Nuts - 3 gms
9. Pistachio Nuts - 3 gms
Cooking Instructions
1. Boil Milk in a thick bottom pan
2. Add Basmati Rice powder and stir well for approx 10 min to avoid any lumps .
3. Add Sugarfree NATURA and mix well till it melts.
4. Add condensed milk and stir for 2-3 minutes.
5. Mix Saffron in 2-3 table spoon of water and add to mixture n
6. Add ghee and cardamom powder and stir till it thickens.

Importantly , to keep balance between my taste buds and health , I have switched from using General Sugar to Sugar free " NATURA " which guarantees the sweetness of sugar without the calories using a derivative of Sugar know as " SUCRALOSE " . This help us in indulging with delight of deserts guilt free :) .
