Firni

There are different stories about the origin of Phirni. It is believed this rich and creamy milk pudding came into existence during the Mughal era as a royal desert.

Today Phirni is a popular sweet dish across the Indian subcontinent.

Usually, it is served in traditional, eco-friendly earthen pots (Mitti Ke Kulhad or Matki). In ancient times refrigerators were not invented, so serving Phirni in earthen vessels had a purpose; it remains chilled for a longer duration and has a particularly pleasing taste.
