PHIRNI WITH CUSTARD AND FRUITS
Today I’m sharing a recipe of interestingπ and yummy Fusion dessert/ sweet recipe ππ.
Sooji phirni with custard and fruits. Since many years I’m preparing this dessert, loved by my family. I have added fruits like muskmelon, mangoes which are available now, so I am posting this recipe in my blog now. Sooji/ rawa/ semolina, phirni is prepared in almost every Indian house. It’s a very simple sweet prepared with semolina, milk and sugar.l have relished this Since my childhood. My Nanijaan (grandmother) and my Ammi (mother) used to add fruits like apple, banana, to this phirni.
We all prepare custard with fruits, I thought of adding free flowing custard to the phirni and topped fruits. The taste was Luscious, the creaminess of the custard adds a very delectable taste to the phirni. This dessert is very scrumptious and tasty. I have added fruits like muskmelon, mangoes, banana, chikoo, grapes (sweet ones),and pearls of pomegranate, these these fruits give soft and crunchy taste.
