This festive season I was left with meetha boondi which, when was fresh was consumed quickly as I stored it in refrigerator so that it’s shelf life increases, no one… Literally no one is interested in eating them. Now I can’t waste this, so just thought of turning these boondis into something fresh creamy and subtle. You can have them cold or hot.

Mango phirni is rich and creamy, delicious dessert for any occasion.

This has to be served in earthen cups or pots to make it taste much better when you have this in earthen pot the taste and smell of the pot is awesome.

Making Mango phirni is same like any other phirni, here we are adding mango pulp for the taste. When served with ice cream this tastes really yum, to understand what am saying do try this fusion.
