Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk, ensuring there are no clumps of ground rice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
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.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the rose water or orange blossom water for flavor.
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.
Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
