Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white basmati rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or cashews)
Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, add the milk, granulated sugar, butter, and raisins (if using). Stir everything together and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all flavors.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sweet rice rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm, and enjoy!
