Fiirni is light rice pudding from Iran, perfect for any season, but especially nice during the winter months! It is great with tea or on its own! This recipe serves 6 people.

so delicious! Here in Toronto I do not have rose water -Golaab, as we call it in Farsi- so I add some cardamom for more flavor.

Fabiana, Uruguay
In our country which is in fact very far from yours, we have something quite similar, but we don't use rice flour - which is not very common here - we actually use rice. IIt was great to find out of this "coincidence " in ingredients and procedure.

Thanks for this nice food.I can not imagine Eftar(the meal in Ramadan) without Ferni!:D Folk! you can add some rose water(as we do)for a better taste or use rice instead of rice flour;)
Lwi, Turkey
Hey, thanks for the recipe. In Turkey there's something like "Fiirni", called "muhallebi" But I'm not sure I think muhallebi is made with more sugar.
Majid, Iran
Thanks, but I think if you make it with starch (instead of Rice flour) It will taste better.
Afshin, Iran
I'm an Iranian too, but I have also tried Sutlac - which Ayshe said. to be honest, I personally prefer the Sutlac!!
Afiz, Inida
Hi I am Afiz. I know this dish before, but my dear friend you added very less sugar in your fiirni. It would be very tasty if we add more sugar and some dry fruits to it. thank you .

Halima, Bangladesh
Fiirni is one of the popular sweet dishes in Bangladesh. We prepare it on different special occasions. However, we add some rose water with it, so it smells better. I am amazed to see the resemblance of foods although we are citizens of two different countries and two different cultures. However, thank you for sending the recipe :).

Charly, Philippines
I am afraid I am not aware of this recipe since it sounds new to me. Although, reading through it seems palatable. I am a Filipino and rice is our staple food, I have never tried this before but I guess that will be scrummy yummy once my tast buds works.
Dr. M. Mukhles, Japan
Hi dearIt is a wonderful dessert after lunch. We prepare the same firni or pudding in our country. Although in Afghanistan we combine the same ingredients and use the same procedure, but we add one specific syrup which is made from sugar, water and oil on the top of it and serve it, on it own frequently. In my childhood I served it every other day. It is very sweet and delicious. Thank you very much for remind me on my childhood.
