How to Make Rice Pudding With Cardamom
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add the 1 cup of basmati rice, 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the rice is well coated with the butter and spices.
- Pour in 3 cups of whole milk and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Stir gently every 5-7 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Remove from heat and let the rice pudding rest for 5 minutes. This allows it to thicken further.
- Serve the warm rice pudding in bowls. Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios and 1 tablespoon of honey (optional).
