Instructions
- Wash rice thoroughly in plain water and drain out the water.
- Let the rice grain dry under the fan or dab them dry over a kitchen towel.
- Now grind these rice in a dry grinder. Keep the texture of rice coarse. It should resemble rava or couscous. Never make a fine powder.
- Keep these rice aside.
- In a small bowl, soak a few strands of saffron in 2-3 tablespoons of water.
- Heat one litre of milk in a pan and allow it to simmer till it becomes 3/4th of the volume.
- Now add ground rice, mix them.
- Cook the rice and milk for 10-12 minutes until it starts to thicken and starts looking like pudding/custardy consistency.
- Keep it stirring in between.
- Now add sugar and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add saffron water and rose water (if adding).
- Mix well and switch off the heat.
- Transfer this to another bowl and chill it in the fridge.
- Stir well before serving in a bowl. Garnish with pistachio slivers and some saffron water.
