Surely the choice is yours but I believe one kiwi fruit a day will keep the doctor away. So I’m here sharing rice pudding recipe with kiwi. In India this recipe is called Phirni. So this one would be called as kiwi phirni. It is sweet and tangy in flavor.

Kiwi, as most of us know is an exotic fruit with a brilliant green colour and unique taste, but most us here don’t know that this fruit is a chef’s delight. Whenever it comes to kiwi, it is used in garnishing and many more things but there is a trick to it when we use it with dairy products, it needs to be protected so that it doesn’t get that metallic taste. No worries here, just follow our steps properly and use the ingredients in same proportion and it will be cooked without much effort. An earthen pot is a perfect vessel to set this dessert, as the porous surface of the pot will absorb water leaving a thick & creamy Phirni behind.

Tip: You could replace the kiwi with any other fruit of your choice. Apple, banana, strawberries, raspberries and mango goes well with this dessert.

So enjoy this delicious and healthy India dessert as your dinner offering or a lovely Christmas treat.

Tips:

  • Use 4 kiwi with 1 cup of sugar cook both of them together to get that perfect balanced taste and it can be stored in bulk and it will stay for fortnight, Use it to milk shakes or cakes.
  • Keep the kiwi puree at room temperature or refrigerate to cool faster and once cooled then only mix with milk because if mixed hot milk will get separated and also kiwi sourness is reduced when cooled.
  • To get richness in phirni reduce milk to 50% at least and then add rice flour.
