fitnfastrecipes

The key ingredient for this Saffron Millet Phirni is Kesar or Saffron, famous as the most expensive spice in the world.

Thanks to my brother Ramesh for bringing me the aromatic saffron from his recent trip to Kashmir. I promised him that I would post a recipe using saffron. And hence here is a simple and healthier recipe for kashmiri phirni.which is a perfect and healthier dessert to finish off a scrumptious meal

Phirni or Firni is a traditional slow cooked pudding from Kashmir.Traditionally rice paste is the key ingredient in phirni here but for some variation, I have replaced rice with millet.

Hope you will try this variation of Saffron Millet phirni . Though you can use any form of sweetener, I have used monk fruit sugar to keep the calorie content low. And fr vegan option, you may use any vegan milk instead of regular dairy milk.

This recipe will yield 12 servings. Each serving will have 52 kcal with 20.36 gms of carb and 2.75 grams of protein.
