Cooking Steps
Cooking Steps
Step 1 :
Wash and soak rice for 30 minutes.
Step 2 :
Meanwhile, add maida, cocoa powder, 1/4th cup of sugar and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a whisk.
Step 3 :
Cube the cold butter and add to the flour mixture. Knead thoroughly until butter is about pea size (variation in size is okay, but not smaller than a pea).
Step 4 :
Turn the dough out on the counter or on a cutting board, wrap it in cling film and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for almost an hour.
Step 5 :
When the rice is soaked for about 30 minutes, start preparing the Phirni. Drain the rice, spread it on a platform and let it dry.
Step 6 :
Then, grind it in short pulses (5 pulses is enough). The grind should neither be too coarse nor too fine.
Step 7 :
Take a cup of milk and pour it into the prepared rice flour. This will prevent rice from clumping when added to the hot milk.
Step 8 :
Toast and grind a few cardamoms into a fine powder.
Step 9 :
Heat the remaining milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Reduce heat to medium flame and keep stirring.
Step 10 :
Add the saffron strands.
Step 11 :
Next, add the rice. Stir the prepared rice flour in cold milk and pour it into the hot milk in the pan. Stir immediately. Keep stirring till Phirni thickens.
Step 12 :
Once the rice is fully cooked, add 3/4 cup of sugar, cardamom powder and a pinch of salt.
Step 13 :
Stir and cook till the Phirni is neither too runny nor too thick. Let it cool a bit and transfer to the refrigerator to set properly.
Step 14 :
At this stage, the dough for the hand pies will be ready. Take it out and roll into a big disc between 1/8” to 1/4” thick. Use extra flour to keep the dough from sticking to the surface while rolling.
Step 15 :
Using a heart or round shaped cookie-cutter, cut the rolled out dough into hearts or circles.
Step 16 :
Take one heart, smear the center with hazelnut spread and cover the filling with another heart. Press the edges together and seal with a fork.
Step 17 :
Create steam vents with the help of a fork. Repeat for the remaining hearts.
Step 18 :
Preheat oven to 210° C and bake the pies for half an hour or more until it is cooked.
Step 19 :
Let the pies cool on a wire rack. As an option for decoration, you can top the pies with chocolate sauce and heart-shaped or any other colourful sprinkles.
Step 20 : To serve
Prepare a bed of cold Phirni on a plate and place the hand pies (two or three for each person) on it.
Step 21 :
Cover each pie with a good amount of Phirni, cut it into two or three pieces and serve.
