INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup short-grain rice, rinsed

4 cups whole milk

3/4 cups sugar

6 almonds, chopped

10 pistachios, chopped

6 cashews, chopped

A few stands of saffron dissolved in 1tbsp hot milk

1 tsp cardamom powder

Chopped pistachios and rose petals for garnish

 

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

Boil 3 cups of milk in a deep, heavy-bottom pot until it reduces to ¾ of its quantity.

 

STEP 2

In a separate pot, cook the rice with 1 cup of milk until the rice is cooked and absorbs all the milk. When the rice looks well done, mash with a fork and add it to the boiling milk- mix well.

 

STEP 3

Add sugar, all chopped nuts, saffron milk, and cardamom powder to the pudding base. Consistently stir in intervals so it doesn’t stick. Let cook for another ½ hour on a low flame. Once the consistency is a little thick, switch off the flame and let it cool.

 

STEP 4

Spoon into individual ramekins or cocktail glasses and chill; to serve, garnish with chopped pistachios and rose petals- ENJOY!
