I made some of this rice pudding the other night, adding some cinnamon instead of cardamom, and soaked raisins for some extra oomph. Might I just say that it was deliciously rich and pleasant. If only I didn’t hate boiling milk so much, I might try it again soon.

Alicia’s Kheer

4 c. milk
1/2 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

(This isn’t really a traditional kheer, it’s just made with what she happened to have on hand, but I like it.)

Rinse well and then soak basmati rice in cold water for a half an hour. Combine milk, rice, condensed milk, and sugar in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until milk is reduced by half and pudding is thick. Add cardamom, stir, and let cool to room temperature before serving.
