Here’s a healthy version of the traditional phirni. Tasty, delicious, flavourful and guilt-free indulgence!

The recipe was shared on social media on a health group. Gratitude to such meaningful and useful shares!

Ingredients

• Sweet potato: 2 cups (sliced)
• Coconut milk: ¾ - 1 cup
• Jaggery powder: ½ cup (or more as per preference)
• Elaichi powder: ½ tsp
• Rose water: 1 tsp
• Saffron: few strands

Method

• Wash, peel and slice sweet potatoes and steam them until soft.
• Cool and place in a blender with jaggery and elaichi powder and blend together adding little coconut milk at a time slowly blending it into a thick smooth paste.
• We don’t want a runny liquid, it has to be a smooth thick paste.
• Taste for sweetness and add more jaggery powder if you feel the need. Add rose water and stir well.
• Transfer to individual serving bowls, garnish with nut slivers and saffron strands.
• Chill for 3-4 hours before serving.
• Best served in clay pots if available.

Wellcure tip

• It is not going to be white phirni due to the use of jaggery. Coconut sugar is not as brown as jaggery so may be better preferred.
• You can also blend aromatic rose petals. Not the hybrid variety.

Eating guide:

• Food groups: tubers and nuts.
• Great food combination with the right mix of fibre and fats.
