Chef's Tips

For a smoother pudding, ensure the rice flour is fully dissolved in the cold milk before heating. Stirring continuously is key to prevent lumps and scorching the bottom of the pan. Adjust sugar to your preference.

Easy Substitutions

Almond flour can be used in place of rice flour for a slightly different texture. Orange blossom water can substitute rosewater for a citrusy floral note. For garnish, use slivered almonds or dried rose petals instead of pistachios.
