The lure of sweets and desserts are never ending at my place. Our family has a sweet tooth and we are fond of anything and everything sweet under the sun (it has to taste good though). After all we live once and to indulge in our cravings is not as guilty as it may sound. I love to fulfill the food cravings of my family members.

My younger daughter keeps on demanding kheer every now and then. I don’t wait for an occasion to prepare such sweets for her. She actually has a wish list of her sweet dishes. Before going to the school she will ask me to prepare a particular sweet for her as after school snack. It could be our humble Rava sheera or kheer.
Now it was the time for me to introduce her to the term “Phirni”. Well she’s allowed to eat very few dry –fruits and nuts. So I decided to make Kesar badam phirni for her. It’s so delicious and an insanely easy one. She relished it and to her heart’s content!! She finally said mom Phirni is very much like kheer and it’s very yummy. My effort to introduce a new sweet was successful and I am sure many of you out there will try this easy peasy recipe and please your loved ones.
