Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with chopped pistachios and dried rose petals, if desired.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy your fragrant Rose Water Rice Pudding!
