nice recipe
@ Illatharasi: If you are a Kashmiri, then u must know the correct ingredients. Rice is not at all included in kahsmiri phirni (may b in other parts of india). It has to be "Sooji", i am not sure what exactly we call it in English (guess semolina). I wld suggest trying sooji instead of rice.
