Ingredients
1/2 gallon skim milk (if you want it richer, use 2% or whole milk, but that adds fat)
1/2 cup rice - soaked in water for 1 hour
Sugar to taste - I start with 1/2 cup
1/2 cup chopped almonds or pistachios or 1/4 cup each
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon or more ground cardamom or seeds from green cardamom.
Preparation
- Bring milk to a boil. Add rice, lower the heat and cook until the rice is tender and the milk is creamy - about an hour. Check often to ensure it isn't burning.
- Add the sugar, nuts, raisins and cardamom
- Cook another 5 minutes
- Serve hot or cold.
