Ingredients

• 1 cup Basmati rice
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 5 pieces Cardamom pods
• 1 teaspoon Rosewater (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Almonds (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice in cold water several times until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and keeps the pudding creamy but not overly sticky.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Cook over medium heat until the rice is soft and the water has been absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

As the rice cooks, lightly crush the cardamom pods with the back of a spoon to release their aroma. Set aside.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, add the whole milk, sugar, salt, and crushed cardamom pods to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the rice and milk mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. The mixture should thicken into a creamy consistency.

Step 6

If using rosewater, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust sugar to taste, if needed.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and discard the cardamom pods. Let the Biram Ruz cool slightly before transferring to serving bowls.

Step 8

Garnish each bowl with chopped pistachios, almonds, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, depending on preference. Enjoy this rich and aromatic dessert!
