Ingredients :
- 1 green cardamom pod
- 6 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup uncooked basmati rice, rinsed
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup each chopped almonds, pistachios and cashews
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon rose water, optional
Directions :
- Place cardamom pod in a spice grinder; grind into a powder. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan or pot, bring whole milk and water to a boil. Add rice; reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook, until rice begins to soften, 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in sugar, cardamom and salt. Cook another 10-15 minutes or until rice is al dente and the liquid has thickened. Stir in nuts, raisins and if desired, rose water; cook until raisins are plump, about 5 minutes longer.
