Steps

Preparation

Rinse the rice with cold water, then drain it. Lightly crush the cardamom pods to release their flavor. Roughly chop the pistachios.

Cooking

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, cardamom pods, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 40-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency.

Flavoring & Serving

Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. Remove the cardamom pods. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with the chopped pistachios.

Extra Tips

► For an even creamier texture, you can substitute part of the cow's milk with rice milk or coconut milk.

► If you desire a more intense cardamom flavor, grind the pods just before cooking.

► Garnish with fresh fruits like berries or mango before serving for an even more colorful and delicious experience.
