Steps:
- Wash rice until the water runs clear, then drain in a sieve. Spread on a towel and use a rolling pin to break the rice into smaller pieces. You do not want a mush, or evenly sized pieces. Set aside in sieve to dry.
- Meanwhile, place milk in a large, heavy pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, then lower the heat until milk is barely simmering. Add the cinnamon and cardamom. Cook 45 minutes or until the milk has reduced to about 6 cups; stir frequently to prevent sticking and to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. (If a skin does form, stir it back in.)
- Add rice and salt and continue to cook over low heat, stirring, until rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. As it cooks, the mixture will thicken; if the rice is not yet cooked and the mixture is very thick, add more milk.
- When rice is very soft but not mushy, add sugar and stir to dissolve. Cook 5 minutes, then taste for sweetness; add more sugar if you wish. Remove cinnamon and cardamom. Serve warm or at room temperature.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING
Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring the rice, milk, and cardamom to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heat-safe spoonula to help keep the milk from burning.
- Reduce the heat so that the milk is gently simmering and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring often. The rice should be tender and the milk will have reduced by half, giving a porridge-like consistency.
- Add the sugar, rosewater or vanilla, and pistachios. Stir and turn off the heat. Serve either warm or chilled, garnished with extra pistachios. Goes well with fresh fruit too.
INDIAN RICE PUDDING
Steps:
- In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, combine the cooked rice and milk. Heat until the mixture begins to boil. Decrease the heat to low and cook at a simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently, approximately 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom and continue to cook until the mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a whisk to help prevent the cardamom from clumping. Once the mixture just begins to thicken, remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and pistachios. Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
