Rice Phirni with Rose Infused Strawberries specially for Valentines Day

by

Today on the occasion of Valentine’s day I decided to make something special for my Dear ones. Specially for my 2 little babies. Yes I am talking about my hubby and my baby 🙂 I wish my Mom and my Dad were here in Bangalore with me. The only thing I don’t like being in Bangalore, is that I miss my parents. Mumma and Appa, I want to wish you both a very Happy Valentine’s Day.
This Valentine’s Day I want to thank my hubby for all the love and support he has given to me. Specially in times when I felt very lonely and specially when I felt like as if I had no one to talk to.  He was and he is always there for me. I want to thank my baby for being with me always.She is always there to give me a hug and to lift my spirits.
Apart from these 2, I want to thank my sister and my “special” friends for being there forever. They are always there, just a phone call away. I can talk to them for hours together and still they never feel bored. I can share all my happy and sad moments with them, I mean almost everything… and due to all these people I feel that my life is blessed.
I wanted to try something new and something which my hubby had never tasted before. I thought of trying this Rice Phirni with Rose Infused Strawberries. I learnt this dish during Love, Cook and Learn workshop which was sponsored by Four Seasons Wine. I will write a separate post on my experiences learnt during that class soon. Learning this dish from a five star chef was really a good experience. I myself tasted this Phirni there for the first time and fell in love with it instantly.
Today I made it for my hubby and he too loved it. He had 2 glasses of it and told me to prepare it again soon 🙂 The red strawberries in this red rose syrup and white rice Phirni makes is a great dessert for any romantic occasion. In return for this great dessert I received lots of love and appreciation from everyone at my home. When my family became very happy after tasting this new dish prepared for the first time.

Recipe adapted from Love,Cook and Learn workshop.

    Looks lovely, Raksha! I have been wanting to make Phirni for sometime now.. I have read recipes that call for soaking the rice before grinding. If i am trying it your way, can i substitute it with rice flour, instead?

    It looks very appealing, I'm little worried, rose syrup could ruin the firni taste.
    I guess firni should be solid & dry, can't say until get a chance to taste it.
