作法
- 米粉與 200 毫升冷牛奶於碗中攪成滑順無顆粒的漿—加入熱牛奶前必須消除結塊。
- 厚重鍋中將剩餘 1 公升牛奶煮至微滾。一邊持續攪拌一邊倒入米粉漿。
- 以中小火煮 18 分鐘，期間頻繁攪拌。混合物會大幅變稠，呈現滑順綿密狀。
- 加入糖攪拌至溶解。再煮 5 分鐘—Firni 應能厚厚掛在湯匙背面。
- 拌入豆蔻粉、玫瑰水與番紅花牛奶。再煮 2 分鐘。
- 倒入小陶碗或瓷盅中。先放至室溫，再冷藏至少 4 小時。撒上開心果片、杏仁片與玫瑰花瓣粉。冰透享用。冷藏可保存 3 天。

文化背景
Firni 是阿富汗與波斯的米布丁—與印度、巴基斯坦的 Kheer 不同，Firni 用米粉（而非整粒米）製作，且必須冷藏享用。這道甜點是開齋節、宴會與家族週日聚會的代表。陶碗盛裝是傳統作法；多孔陶土能吸收水分，讓布丁凝結得更扎實。海外阿富汗餐廳將 Firni 視為高級甜點。玫瑰水是阿富汗特色，比波斯版用得少，比巴基斯坦版用得多。
