Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
As the rice cooks, lightly crush the cardamom pods with the back of a spoon to release their aroma. Set aside.
Once the rice is cooked, add the whole milk, sugar, salt, and crushed cardamom pods to the pot. Stir to combine.
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.
If using rosewater, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust sugar to taste, if needed.
Remove the pot from heat and discard the cardamom pods. Let the Biram Ruz cool slightly before transferring to serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with chopped pistachios, almonds, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on preference. Enjoy this rich and aromatic dessert!
