Rice Pudding With Cardamom Food

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

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.

BAKED CARDAMOM-SCENTED RICE PUDDING WITH ORANGES IN HONEY & POMEGRANATE SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and butter a wide 1.5-litre ovenproof baking dish. Put the butter, sugar, cardamom, pudding rice and milk in a saucepan and bring gently to the boil, stirring to help the sugar dissolve. Add the cream, a pinch of salt, orange zest and vanilla and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 4 mins, stirring, until you can feel that the rice grains have become slightly swollen. Pour into the buttered baking dish and bake for 2 hrs, uncovered. The rice should be cooked but not dry or sticky. It might need a little longer, but keep an eye on it.
• Meanwhile, make the compote. Heat the orange juice, pomegranate juice, molasses, honey and sugar, stirring to help the sugar dissolve. Simmer for 8 mins until reduced slighty. Transfer to a jug. If you have more than 300ml, reduce it by boiling a bit more. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Strain, cover and chill in the fridge.
• Cut the top and bottom off the oranges to form a flat base. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut away the pith and peel. Cut the fruit into slices, catching any juice if you can (add it to the syrup). Put the oranges in a bowl, pour on the syrup and serve with the rice pudding.

CARDAMOM RICE PUDDING WITH GOLDEN RAISINS

Steps:

• Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the beans from the pod. Add them both to a large saucepan, along with 4 cups of the milk and the sugar, rice, and salt. Bring just to a boil over medium-high heat (watch carefully-it boils over easily!), partially cover the pan, and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the rice is very soft, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally at first and more frequently as the mixture thickens. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully remove the vanilla bean pods. (You can rinse the pods and store them in a jar of sugar, which will infuse the sugar with vanilla flavor.)
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 cups milk with the egg, yolks, cardamom, and orange zest. Using a heatproof measuring cup, scoop out about 1 cup of the hot rice mixture. Whisking the egg mixture constantly, add the rice mixture to the eggs in a steady stream and whisk to blend. Repeat with another 1 cup of the rice. Then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and whisk to blend. Stir in the raisins.
• Transfer to an 8 by 12-inch glass or metal baking dish and place the dish in another, larger baking or roasting pan at least as deep as the baking dish. Fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Bake uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pudding is thickened but still fairly fluid, about 40 minutes. (The rice will absorb the remaining liquid as it cools.)
• Let cool slightly. Serve while still warm.
• Note
• You could use jasmine or other long-grain rice instead, but basmati seems to hold up the best under the long cooking time.
