My family loves Indian rice pudding and I am always looking for ways to make it even more delicious. This Comforting Indian Rice Pudding recipe is the result of many trials and tribulations in the kitchen. I used white basmati rice, almond milk, and a hint of cardamom for a creamy and flavorful dessert that is sure to satisfy!
My mom used to make a version of this rice pudding when I was growing up. I remember the smell of the cardamom and the warmth of the pudding on cold winter days. I am so grateful for the lessons I learned from her and the memories we created together in the kitchen.
I love to add raisins to my Comforting Indian Rice Pudding. They add a nice sweetness and a bit of texture to the dessert. I also like to top my pudding with a sprinkle of ground cardamom and some fresh mint leaves.
This Comforting Indian Rice Pudding is perfect for any occasion. Serve it as a special dessert or as a comforting snack anytime. No matter when or how you enjoy it, I guarantee you will love it!
For a vegan version, use coconut milk instead of almond milk.
For a healthier version, use brown basmati rice and reduce the amount of sugar.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of honey to the pudding.
