Indian Rice Pudding With Fruit Food

RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, mix well, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the rice is very soft. (The mixture should still be soupy; if it is not, add enough additional milk to make it soupy.)
• Add the dried fruits to the pudding, mix, and set aside until cooled to room temperature. Spoon into six dessert dishes and serve, if desired, with 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream on top.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, combine the cooked rice and milk. Heat until the mixture begins to boil. Decrease the heat to low and cook at a simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom and continue to cook until the mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a whisk to help prevent the cardamom from clumping. Once the mixture just begins to thicken, remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and pistachios. Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

• Decrease heat to low and cook to a simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture begins to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium, add heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom. Continue to cook until mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5-10 minutes. Use a whisk to prevent the cardamom from clumping.
• Once mixture begins to thicken, remove from heat and stir in raisins and pistachios.
• Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• Note: The mixture may not seem thick enough when you remove it from the heat, but once you add the raisins and pistachios and chill, it will get nice and creamy. I like my rice pudding a little sweet, so I also added a little bit more sugar than the 2 oz. called for in the recipe to suit my personal taste.

CREAMY RICE PUDDING AND FRUIT LAYERED DESSERT

Steps:

• Place fruit in 2-qt. decorative glass bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Bring 1/3 cup of the water to boil in small saucepan; pour into large glass measuring cup. Stir in dry gelatin mix 2 min. or until dissolved. Add enough cold water to measuring cup to measure 1 cup. Pour over fruit; keep refrigerated.
• Meanwhile, place remaining 2 cups water and rice in medium saucepan. Bring to boil on medium heat; cover. Reduce heat to low; simmer 20 min. or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in milk and sugar; cook on medium-low heat 5 min. or until creamy, stirring constantly. Cool completely. Gently stir in whipped topping.
• Spoon rice pudding over fruit. Garnish with additional fruit, if desired.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Heat the milk, condensed milk and honey with cardamom over med heat, stirring constantly so as not to scorch the milk. When it is just about at the boiling point, add rice and continue cooking, stirring often, about 45 min until rice is tender and about half the liquid has cooked away. Cool and refrigerate until cold. To serve, top the pudding with the fruit and garnish with a a couple of mint leaves.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring the rice, milk, and cardamom to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heat-safe spoonula to help keep the milk from burning.
• Reduce the heat so that the milk is gently simmering and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring often. The rice should be tender and the milk will have reduced by half, giving a porridge-like consistency.
• Add the sugar, rosewater or vanilla, and pistachios. Stir and turn off the heat. Serve either warm or chilled, garnished with extra pistachios. Goes well with fresh fruit too.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING (KHEER)

Steps:

• Put the saffron strands in a small bowl and soak in 2-3 tbsp of warm water. Bruise the stems with the back of a teaspoon - this will help release the flavour and colour.
• Heat the milk with the pierced green cardamom pods in a sturdy pan. When it comes to the boiling point, scatter the rice into the milk, turn the heat to low and simmer until the rice has broken down and is really soft, about 40 mins. Stir often to prevent the rice scorching on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the sugar to the cooked rice and heat until dissolved. You can scoop out the cardamom pods, if you like.
• Stir in the cream and gradually add the rosewater and enough saffron and its soaking liquid to lightly flavour the kheer. Stir in the shredded almonds and drained raisins and serve either piping hot or chilled.

Steps:

• Wash the rice and boil in the water over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the rice is one quarter done. Drain in a colander.
• In a saucepan, bring the almond milk and cardamom pods to a boil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is soft and the milk is very thick. Stir occasionally at first and then constantly when the milk begins to thicken, to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Add the sugar or honey (if you are not making a fully vegan version), almonds, ground cardamom, and nutmeg and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat and set aside. Sprinkle with the rose water and mix, you may add more rose water if you desire.
• Serve warm or chilled in dessert bowls.
