HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, and rice flour until smooth and no lumps remain.

02

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Ensure it does not boil vigorously.

03

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the ground cardamom and rosewater.

04

Pour the warm pudding into 4 individual serving bowls or ramekins.

05

Allow the puddings to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then cover them and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

06

Before serving, garnish each pudding with slivered pistachios and a few saffron threads, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For an extra creamy texture, you can pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking to remove any small lumps. Adjust the sugar to your preference; some prefer a sweeter pudding.

Easy Substitutions

Almond extract can be used in place of rosewater for a different floral note. You can also use cornstarch instead of rice flour, but the texture will be slightly different.
