For a comforting dessert, cook rice in a mixture of milk, water, and crushed cardamom pods. Once the rice is cooked, add sugar and raisins, and cook until thickened. Serve warm or chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3-4 green cardamom pods, crushed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Raisins (optional)
Directions
Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff the rice with a fork.
In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, cream, sugar, salt, and crushed cardamom pods. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cooked rice and raisins (if using) and cook, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens and the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional raisins or a sprinkle of ground cardamom, if desired.
