Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Short-grain white rice
• 1 cup Water
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rose water
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom (optional)
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Add the whole milk to the saucepan and stir. Increase the heat to medium, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for about 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Stir in the granulated sugar, rose water, ground cardamom (if using), and salt. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with chopped pistachios and dried rose petals, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy your fragrant Rose Water Rice Pudding!
