How to Make Indian Rice Pudding With Cardamom And Rose Water

  1. Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups soy milk, 1 cup coconut milk, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is very soft.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon rose water, ½ cup slivered almonds, and the cornstarch mixture to the rice pudding.
  6. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the pudding is smooth and creamy, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and stir. Taste and adjust sweetness or cardamom as needed.
  8. Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving cold.
