Ingredients

• 125 grams Basmati rice
• 1 liter Whole milk
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 4 Cardamom pods
• 1 Zest of orange
• 15 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and a pinch of salt. Heat it over medium-low heat until it just starts to steam but is not boiling.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (slightly cracked), and orange zest to the saucepan. Stir well.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring every few minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Cook the mixture for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened considerably.

Step 6

Remove the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and orange zest from the mixture using a slotted spoon or tongs.

Step 7

Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, butter, and ground nutmeg. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the pudding is creamy.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh orange zest for an extra pop of flavor. Enjoy!
