Indian Rice Pudding With Fruit Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring the rice, milk, and cardamom to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heat-safe spoonula to help keep the milk from burning.
• Reduce the heat so that the milk is gently simmering and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring often. The rice should be tender and the milk will have reduced by half, giving a porridge-like consistency.
• Add the sugar, rosewater or vanilla, and pistachios. Stir and turn off the heat. Serve either warm or chilled, garnished with extra pistachios. Goes well with fresh fruit too.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, combine the cooked rice and milk. Heat until the mixture begins to boil. Decrease the heat to low and cook at a simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom and continue to cook until the mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a whisk to help prevent the cardamom from clumping. Once the mixture just begins to thicken, remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and pistachios. Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the milk, condensed milk and honey with cardamom over med heat, stirring constantly so as not to scorch the milk. When it is just about at the boiling point, add rice and continue cooking, stirring often, about 45 min until rice is tender and about half the liquid has cooked away. Cool and refrigerate until cold. To serve, top the pudding with the fruit and garnish with a a couple of mint leaves.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the rice and water, bring to a boil, stirring, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add 2 cups of the milk, the sugar, raisins, cashews or pistachios, cardamom seeds, and cinnamon, and simmer, stirring often, for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until rice is tender and mixture creamy. Add additional milk if necessary. Pudding may also be served chilled.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan bring milks and sugar to a boil. Add rice and lower heat to a simmer. Cook and stir often until the rice is tender and mixture thickens, about 20-30 minutes.
• Stir in the raisins, cardamom and rose water. Put in serving bowls and garnish with almonds and pistachios.

Steps:

• Put the saffron strands in a small bowl and soak in 2-3 tbsp of warm water. Bruise the stems with the back of a teaspoon - this will help release the flavour and colour.
• Heat the milk with the pierced green cardamom pods in a sturdy pan. When it comes to the boiling point, scatter the rice into the milk, turn the heat to low and simmer until the rice has broken down and is really soft, about 40 mins. Stir often to prevent the rice scorching on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the sugar to the cooked rice and heat until dissolved. You can scoop out the cardamom pods, if you like.
• Stir in the cream and gradually add the rosewater and enough saffron and its soaking liquid to lightly flavour the kheer. Stir in the shredded almonds and drained raisins and serve either piping hot or chilled.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, combine cooked rice and whole milk. Heat until mixture begins to boil.
• Decrease heat to low and cook to a simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture begins to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium, add heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom. Continue to cook until mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5-10 minutes. Use a whisk to prevent the cardamom from clumping.
• Once mixture begins to thicken, remove from heat and stir in raisins and pistachios.
• Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• Note: The mixture may not seem thick enough when you remove it from the heat, but once you add the raisins and pistachios and chill, it will get nice and creamy. I like my rice pudding a little sweet, so I also added a little bit more sugar than the 2 oz. called for in the recipe to suit my personal taste.

Steps:

• In a large pot add the milk and rice.
• Heat on low until thick (1-2 hours).
• Stir every now and then.
• Add the sugar and a pinch of cardamom.
• Stir.
