Instructions

Rinse rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Soak for 20–30 minutes to soften the grains.
Bring milk to a gentle boil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Reduce the heat immediately to prevent scorching.
Drain and add the soaked grains. Stir gently and continuously to prevent sticking.
Cook on low heat for 30–40 minutes. Stir every 2–3 minutes. As starch releases, the mixture thickens naturally.
Add sugar and crushed cardamom once the rice is fully tender. Avoid adding sugar too early, as it can slow softening.
Add nuts, saffron, or raisins. Simmer for 5 more minutes, then remove from heat.
