Kodo Millet Phirni
First, take some kood millet and soak it for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Wash them well and drain the water from millet. Now, take a small grinder jar. And grind the kodo millet coarsely. We do not need smooth puree, just plus grind the millet.
Now, boil some milk. Then add kodo millet. Cook them for 20 to 25 minutes on medium flame and stire it occasionally. When the phirni is thick in consistency, add suagr and cardamom. Mix well and turn off the heat.
If the phirni looks too thick, add some milk and mix it. Now, allow it to cool down or store this in the fridge. Then, use some mango puree, chopped mangoes, and nuts on time of garnishing. Mango millet phirni is ready.
