Lychee Phirni/ Lychee flavoured Rice Pudding

When the summer starts warming up,I love to make cool dessert.So today recipe is perfect for hot summer days.A bowl of chilled Phirni is like a breath of cool & fresh air........Lustrous,Rich,Creamy velvety sugary goodness,Smooth and flavorful with the aroma of Lychee and the creaminess of rice and milk.......Soothing and refreshing....Phirni is made with ground rice cooked in milk,simmered and reduced till thick and creamy with care on low flame then sweetened and flavoured and its magic to see rice & milk come together in such union.

I love playing with flavours so I decided to put a twist on traditional Phirni and Add chopped Lychee to my Phirni....Incredibly flavorful and fragrant pot of rice,Its actually one of the easiest dessert to make and you must have this in your repertoire....Take a note of  this recipe and let me know how it turned out with your wonderful comments:)With lots of love from "Nia mommy food trail"...
