India is quite popular for desserts and snacks and this dessert is just mind blowing with a delicious taste of milk, khoya, sugar and rice flour.

Phirni is basically a simple hyderabadi kheer recipe where rice is soaked, strained, sun dried, powdered and added to the reduced milk and sugar.

To enhance and give a very rich taste khoya too is added. This is quite a popular hyderabadi delicacy served with pooris here.
