Phirni (Rice Pudding)

Ingredients:

1 litre full cream milk
2 tablespoons rice
1 tablespoon rose water
10-12 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cardamom powder (elaichi)
4-5 strands saffron

Soak the rice in very little water for an hour and coarsely grind it.

Boil the milk, add the rice, and all other ingredients.
Constantly stir while boiling until it thickens to slightly less than half. Once thick enough to be set into pudding pour in mud bowls and leave to cool.

Serve chilled.

P.S: can be garnished with chopped nuts. In case you do not have mud bowls you can set it in any dish/bowl.
