Phirni is a milk pudding, somewhat like kheer but also not. Phirni is made with broken bits of rice or tukda basmati. The rice is simmered with milk, sugar and assorted spices, just like you prepare kheer; except, for phirni- you let the milk thicken slightly more. Phirni is also often laced with chunky nuts and dry fruits. This badaam ki phirni is the best example.

Make sure you chop the almonds roughly before you proceed with adding them to your phirni.
