Ingredients
- 50 grams Ground rice
- 1 liter Milk
- 100 grams Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rose water or orange blossom water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the ground rice and a small amount of milk (about 1/4 cup) to form a smooth paste. This will prevent lumps from forming in the pudding.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk, ensuring there are no clumps of ground rice.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
Step 4
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk, to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. This will take about 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
Step 5
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the rose water or orange blossom water for flavor.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or glasses. Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
