How To Make Taler Gurer Phirni/Rice Pudding with Palm jaggery
Phirni is a thick and velvety rice pudding made from aromatic ground rice. To make the Taler Gurer Phirni recipe all you need is Gobindobhog rice, milk, palm jaggery, nuts, and saffron or cardamom powder. The aromatic ground rice granules are slow-cooked in milk added with palm jaggery and nuts to a velvety and thick consistency, this is How To Make Taler Gurer Phirni. Phirni is almost like kheer or Chaler payesh; the difference is, in phirni, ground rice is used instead of normal rice, which is used in kheer/payesh. Basically normal Basmati rice is used; here I am using gobindobhog rice, as it is easily available in Bengal. And truly speaking, this recipe(taler gurer phirni) is tastier than my phirni with gobindobhog rice which was made with sugar.
The equipment required
Hard bottomed milk pan
Spatula
Ingredients
- Milk-750 ml
- Gobindobhog rice-75 gm
- Palm Jaggery-120gm
- Green cardamom-2
- Chopped almond-1.5 tbsp
How To Make Taler Gurer Phirni
Take Gobindobhog rice in a bowl
Then put it in a blender jar
And make a coarse powder (don’t make a fine powder, Otherwise it will become some other thing)
Now wash the ground rice with the help of a tea strainer, and keep it aside.
Add milk to a hard-bottomed milk pan, and boil it on a low flame.
Add two crushed cardamom
Occasionally stir the milk; otherwise, it may burn in the bottom.
Now milk is boiling, so add the rice grains.
Add the chopped nuts and stir them frequently.
The rice is boiling with the milk, so chances are there to stick in the bottom, so stir them frequently.
Now make the flame very slow, and add the jaggery and slowly mix them; as the palm jaggery is very soft, so no need to break into small parts, you can put the whole jaggery cake in the milk.
Continue to keep the flame low, and slowly stir the phirni
You can see now, that the color is changed to light pink and slowly it becomes thicker.
Now Taler Gurer Phirni becomes the perfect required consistency.
Transfer them to some earthen pots, which will make phirni thicker.
