Ingredients
Instructions
-
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and rinsed basmati rice. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer, uncovered, for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture begins to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
-
Add the sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom to the rice mixture, stirring well to combine. If using, stir in the raisins at this point.
-
Cook the pudding for an additional 10-15 minutes, until it reaches your desired consistency. If the pudding becomes too thick, you can add a bit more milk to thin it out.
-
Once the pudding is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the Easy Basmati Rice Pudding warm or chilled, garnished with chopped nuts of your choice for added texture and flavor.
