Preparation

Step 1

Cook the basmati rice in 1 1/2 cups of water until its completely soft. You do not need the grains to be separate here. Mash down completely with the back of a wooden spoon. Combine the mashed rice, condensed milk and the 2% milk (you may want to whisk the cooked rice in to ensure that there are no lumps). Add the spices, bring to a gentle boil and cook down on a low heat until the consistency of a thick soup. Serve chilled or warm.
