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 ;)

Firni-3-375x500

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 :)
