Ingredients:
1/2 cup Basmati rice (washed and soaked for 15-20 minutes)
1 liter milk (I prefer full cream for better results, but you can use any according to your choice)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp powdered green cardamom
1/2 cup dry fruits - crushed (Almonds, raisins, pistachios, cashew-nuts)
1 pinch Saffron (optional)
Silver Warq to garnish (Optional)
Method:
Boil milk in a heavy bottom pan till it thickens a bit. Add soaked rice. Keep stirring and cooking on low heat till rice are done and the milk thickens to half of the original quantity. Add sugar and cook for another 5-7 minutes. To know that the pudding is done, run a spoon test. Pick pudding in spoon and drop it back in the pan, the rice and milk should not fall separately.
Now add saffron and dry fruits and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool. Serve chilled. Decorate with almonds or silver warq. It is ready to be served.
