Transport your taste-buds to Iran with this exotic rice pudding recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 200g basmati rice
  • 500ml milk
  • 250ml water
  • 140g caster sugar
  • 60ml rosewater
  • 185ml thickened cream
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • Silver cachous, to decorate
  • Dried rose petals or rosebuds, to decorate
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring rice, milk, and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour until rice is tender and liquid is nearly absorbed.
  • Combine sugar, rosewater, cream, and cardamom in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until the rice pudding thickens. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare 8 x 1/2 cup (125ml) timbales or cone-shaped moulds by rinsing them with water. Fill the timbales with the rice mixture and then gently invert them onto plates. Top with cachous and rose petals. Serve immediately. For a different presentation, spoon the warm rice mixture into serving bowls and sprinkle with cachous and rose petals before serving.
