Once the phirni starts to thicken, lower the flame and stir continuously, cook until the rice grains are cooked.
Once the phirni is thickened, add the mango puree, and chopped nuts and stir well.
Taste for the sweetness and add the sugar accordingly, add a pinch of elaichi powder, stir and cook on medium-low flame while stirring for another 5-7 minutes. The consistency of the phirni should be thick.
