🇧🇩 Bangladesh recipe
Firni
Firni is a delicate, set pudding made from ground rice cooked slowly in milk until it thickens into a creamy custard, then perfumed with cardamom and rose water and set in individual clay pots. The clay pots absorb excess moisture, giving firni its characteristic dense, creamy texture. It is a beloved Mughlai dessert that remains a staple at Bangladeshi celebrations, iftar tables, and sweet shops.
