Rice Pudding- recipe #1

I am sure, there are numerous recipes for making rice pudding (depending on the recipe, called kheer or firni in India, and surprisingly this is also made in Turkey, I will get that recipe soon).

Before reaching the airport, Rudaba aunty had just enough time to tell me this recipe.

Ingredients:
For 1/2 gallon full fat milk,
1/4 cup rice (soaked in water for about 4-6 hours)
Sugar,
dry fruits for garnishing (almonds, cashews, raisins)

Boil the milk in a non-stick deep pan. In a blender put the soaked rice and about a cup of cold milk. Grind to form a rough paste. Add this to the boiling milk. Keep stirring constantly, do not leave this even for a couple of minutes. Needs your full attention. Cook till this thickens, add about 1 cup sugar (more or less depending on your taste). Again boil till the sugar dissolves. Add the dry fruits.

Put it in little bowls and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
