6 servings
- 5 cups whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor. - ¼ cup basmati rice, rinsed
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 2 tbsp raw cashews, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp raw almonds, slivered or roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp golden raisins
- 1 tsp rose water
For serving
- 1 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the milk and rinsed basmati rice in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom.
- 2
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring every 2–3 minutes and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the milk has reduced by roughly half and the rice is completely soft and the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 35–40 minutes.
