- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/2 tsp rose water
- 2-3 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews, etc.)
Directions

- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat milk over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to low and add the ground rice paste. Stir continuously for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the mixture has thickened.
- Add sugar to the pot and mix well. Continue cooking on low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
- Add cardamom powder and rose water to the pot and mix well.
- Pour the Phirni into individual serving bowls and let it cool.
- Garnish with chopped nuts and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
