Ingredients
- 60 grams Rice flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liter Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Rose water
- 125 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the rice flour and 125ml of water until it forms a smooth and lump-free slurry. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine milk and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to ensure the sugar dissolves completely, but do not let the milk boil.
Step 3
Once the milk is warm, gradually pour the rice flour slurry into the saucepan while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 4
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy, pudding-like consistency. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rose water for a fragrant finish.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into serving dishes or bowls while still warm. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set fully.
Step 7
Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top of the pudding. Optionally, garnish with chopped pistachios for added crunch and flavor.
