Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups whole milk
2/3 cup long-grain white rice (not converted)
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated jaggery (unrefined brown sugar) or turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw)
1 tablespoon Indian Clarified Butter (Ghee) or melted butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Bring milk, rice, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat ghee in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then cook almonds, stirring, until golden. Add raisins and cook, stirring, until coated with ghee and slightly puffed.
  • Stir almond mixture into rice pudding and serve warm.
