Rice Pudding – Indian-Style Recipe

Rice Pudding – Indian-Style Recipe

  • 1/2 cup white rice
  • 4 cups whole milk, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped cashews
  • 2 teaspoons chopped pistachios
  • 2 teaspoons chopped almonds
  1. Bring rice and 2 cups milk to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Mash rice with a spatula or in a blender until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups milk and cook until thick, about 10 more minutes. Stir sugar into rice pudding.
  3. Slowly mix ghee into rice pudding, keeping the saucepan over medium-low heat, until pudding no longer sticks to sides of pan, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cashews, pistachios, and almonds.
