Serves: 04

Preparation Time: 15minutes

Cooking Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup uncooked white rice
  2. 4-5 cups full cream milk
  3. 2 tbsp butter, unsalted
  4. 1 cup full cream
  5. 3-4 tbsp sugar
  6. 2 tsp cinnamon
  7. 1 tsp green cardamom powder
  8. Salt to taste

Recipe:

Heat a non-stick sauce pan and add equivalent amount of water with rice on medium flame for cooking the rice. Add butter and bring to a boil. By stirring frequently you may prevent burning. Boil it until all the remaining water is absorbed. Add half of the milk and let cook over medium heat, stir it occasionally until all of the milk is absorbed. Add the rest of the milk to the saucepan and continue to cook over medium heat. Keep stirring often to prevent the rice and milk from burning. Keep cooking until the rice thickens and achieves a creamy appearance. Now, add 1 cup full cream to make the rice even thicker. Add salt and remove from heat. Add cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, sugar and other spices as desired as toppings. You may garnish it with mint, coriander and basil leaves.

Do’s: You may substitute full cream milk with lower fat milk, but mind it that pudding will not be as thicker.
