KASHMIRI PHIRNI

Talkie – Kashmiri Phirni

Theatre – Kitchen Champion

Chef – Mother & @alygoni

Review – Kashmir is India’s little paradise, and the film Kashmiri Phirni does full justice. This one is like a lullaby , you wouldn’t want to leave the theatre till you have relished the last almond served at the bottom of this dish. The chef’s of this film are Kashmiri’s and are the sweetest people, who could have made this dish. They brought in the Mithas of their region and personalities to this dish , which makes it the stellar dish it was. The milk and dry fruits blend together in perfect sync leaving you in a world full of beauty, yummyness and content.
