Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams Basmati rice
- 1 liter Whole milk
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 4 Cardamom pods
- 1 Zest of orange
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and a pinch of salt. Heat it over medium-low heat until it just starts to steam but is not boiling.
Add the rinsed rice, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (slightly cracked), and orange zest to the saucepan. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring every few minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook the mixture for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened considerably.
Remove the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and orange zest from the mixture using a slotted spoon or tongs.
Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, butter, and ground nutmeg. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the pudding is creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh orange zest for an extra pop of flavor. Enjoy!
