Ingredients

  • 1 cup of white rice
  • 4 cups of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 6-8 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, cardamom pods, and salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice pudding, stirring occasionally, for 35-40 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  4. Remove the vanilla bean and cardamom pods from the rice pudding.
  5. Divide the rice pudding into serving bowls and let it cool to room temperature before serving, or chill in the refrigerator if you prefer it cold.
