How to make Kesar Pista Phirni Recipe?

  1. Bring the milk to a boil in a deep non-stick pan. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring continuously, till it reduces by half.

  3. When it starts to thicken, lower the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously. Add the cardamom powder and saffron, and mix well.
  4. When the mixture attains a thick custard-like consistency, remove from heat and stir in the low-calorie sweetener.
  5. Pour the mixture into 4 individual earthenware bowls while still warm. Sprinkle sliced pistachios and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled.
