Let it simmer till thickens stirring almost constantly.It will thicken maximum within 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it come to room temperature.


Puree the prunes in a blender( I had soaked them in grape juie and mixed little sugar and cinnomen powder ) ) and keep aside.


 Pour the phirni preferably earthenware or matkas- or any serving bowls and let it chill for atleast 30 minutes or dessert time.
