Introduction

Shahi Firni is a rich, creamy dessert popular in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan — especially during Eid, weddings, and festive celebrations. Made with ground rice, milk, sugar, and flavored with saffron, cardamom, and nuts, this royal pudding is served chilled in clay pots for an authentic touch. In this recipe, you’ll learn the traditional Shahi Firni method with simple steps for perfect results every time.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • 1 liter full-fat milk
  • ¼ cup basmati rice (washed, soaked for 1 hour, and ground to a coarse paste)
  • ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • A few strands of saffron (optional, soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk)
  • 2 tbsp condensed milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
  • 2 tbsp chopped almonds
  • 1 tbsp rose water (optional)

Step-by-Step Cooking Method

Step 1 – Prepare the Rice Paste

  • Wash and soak basmati rice for 1 hour.
  • Drain and grind to a coarse paste with a little water.

Step 2 – Boil the Milk

  • In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring milk to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and let it simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3 – Add the Rice Paste

  • Slowly add the rice paste to the simmering milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Cook on low heat until the mixture thickens (about 15–20 minutes).

Step 4 – Sweeten & Flavor

  • Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
  • Mix in cardamom powder, saffron milk, and condensed milk (if using).
  • Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes until the firni reaches a creamy consistency.

Step 5 – Serve & Chill

  • Pour into small bowls or traditional clay pots.
  • Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving.

Expert Tips for Perfect Shahi Firni

  • Always stir while cooking to prevent sticking and burning.

  • Serving in clay pots adds an earthy aroma and authentic presentation.
