2. If you want even smoother Phirni add rice flour instead of rice paste.
3. If you are not getting right yellow color you can use 1 or 2 drops of yellow food color or you can even use ¼ tsp turmeric powder.
4. If you don’t have saffron you can still make it with other nuts, it still tastes awesome.
5. Warm and ice cold Phirni both have their own taste.
