Method
Soak rice in plain water for at least 30 minutes. Drain the water and, using a spice grinder, grind the rice coarsely with as little water as you can to make a fine paste.
Heat milk in a saucepan on low flame.

Add the cardamoms and bay leaves and keep stirring at regular intervals to ensure that the milk doesn’t stick to the pan’s bottom. Reduce the milk; it is almost half of its original quantity.
Now add the rice and mix gently using a whisk, be careful at this stage as the rice can become stodgy. You want to ensure that the Phirni has a smooth consistency, and there are no lumps.
Keep cooking for 10 more minutes before adding the sugar. Turn off the gas once the sugar has completely dissolved, discard the Bay leaves and cardamoms.
Transfer scoops of Phirni into small glasses, add the Mango cubes, and top it up with more Phirni till it is equally distributed. Garnish with more Mangoes & Pistachios, chill overnight and serve cold.
