Firni; yummyyyyy iranian desert
I met Pouya in Elgoli park in Tabriz, and he invited me to come to his house for a traditional Tabrizi lunch. I thought, why not... and accepted the invitation.
After the very special homemade Tabrizi kufte (which according to iranians is very hard to make) we had a nice iranian desert, which is much easier to prepare. So I thought it would be nice to share the recipe with you, in case your culinary creativity needs some stimulation ;)
Ingredients:
1 liter of milk
100gr of rice flour
Sugar, cacao... or whatever else you fancy
Preparation:
Pour the milk in a large saucepan and add 5 or 6 tablespoons of rice flour
Stir it with a spoon, then put the saucepan on the stove, keep stirring and cooking on a medium flame
When it starts boiling takes the consistence of syrup add sugar (3 to 5 tablesspoons), stir it for about 3 minute until it becomes thick (thicker than syrup but less thick than paste)
Leave it on the stove on a low flame for about 5 minute, after that remove from flame,
you can add cacao instead of sugar.
If you are patient enough, let it cool down, put it in the fridge and eat it cold :)
