NOTES/TIPS

Add little milk to loosen it, if the phirni is too thick.

Adjust the sugar as per the sweet taste required by you.

Preferably use alphonso or sweet mangoes.  You can also garnish with chopped mangoes and serve chilled.

Use full cream or full fat milk for better taste.  Add little condensed milk to give richness to the phirni.
