Sweet Potato Phirni – grain free! Dairy-free!

Here’s a healthy version of the traditional phirni. Tasty, delicious, flavourful and guilt-free indulgence!
The recipe was shared on social media on a health group. Gratitude to such meaningful and useful shares!
Ingredients
- Sweet potato: 2 cups (sliced)
- Coconut milk: ¾ - 1 cup
- Jaggery powder: ½ cup (or more as per preference)
- Elaichi powder: ½ tsp
- Rose water: 1 tsp
- Saffron: few strands
Method
- Wash, peel and slice sweet potatoes and steam them until soft.
- Cool and place in a blender with jaggery and elaichi powder and blend together adding little coconut milk at a time slowly blending it into a thick smooth paste.
- We don’t want a runny liquid, it has to be a smooth thick paste.
- Taste for sweetness and add more jaggery powder if you feel the need. Add rose water and stir well.
- Transfer to individual serving bowls, garnish with nut slivers and saffron strands.
- Chill for 3-4 hours before serving.
- Best served in clay pots if available.
Wellcure tip
- It is not going to be white phirni due to the use of jaggery. Coconut sugar is not as brown as jaggery so may be better preferred.
- You can also blend aromatic rose petals. Not the hybrid variety.
Eating guide:
- Food groups: tubers and nuts.
- Great food combination with the right mix of fibre and fats.
