 The holy month of Ramzan is known for fasting as well as feasting. While a delicious spread of yummy snacks and desserts invite you to take a bite, you can also try preparing some of these treats in the comfort of your home. You can start with the traditional dessert of Phirni.

Method: Soak and wash rice and drain in a cloth (blend to a coarse powder in a blender pretty much like semolina). Boil milk, add whole cardamom and remove it from the milk after some time. Add rice and boil, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add water if necessary and cook till done. Reduce heat, then add condensed milk and cream. Add pistachio, badam, cashew paste stirring constantly (even better can use a hand blender).
