Shilpa Shetty made the phirni with Basmati rice as it provides a great amount of carbohydrates and energy. The phirni recipe is very easy to follow. First, boil calcium and protein-rich milk in a large pan. Blend pre-soaked Basmati rice with some water till it turns into a coarse and grainy mixture. Pour the mixture into the boiling milk. Add few strands of saffron (kesar), cardamom (elaichi) powder, and let it all cook for some time. You’ll see your phirni developing a beautiful yellow hue. Add a dash of rose water and some chopped or sliced pistachios (pista). 

Shilpa Shetty used agave syrup to sweeten her phirni but you can also use honey or jaggery (gur) if you don’t have agave syrup at home. Pour the phirni in earthen pots, garnish with some more pista and rose petals and refrigerate it for at least one hour. Serve chilled.
