Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 2 cups full-fat milk
- 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
- Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds) for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
- In a small bowl, mix the rice flour with a little bit of cold milk to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the remaining milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2: Cook the Pudding
- Once the milk starts simmering, slowly add the rice flour paste into the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Continue cooking on low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
Step 3: Add Sweetener and Flavorings
- Add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron (if using) to the pudding and stir well. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4: Serve the Pudding
- Remove the pudding from heat and stir in the ghee for added richness.
- Pour the pudding into serving bowls and garnish with chopped nuts.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. It can also be served chilled, depending on your preference.
