I must admit that I am not a huge rice pudding fan. It never fascinated me much, as I prefer rice in savory and not sweet dishes.  It's the long weekend here in New Zealand, so with Monday off I thought I will make a dessert. Its cold, windy and rainy outside and so a cold dessert didn't really cut it. I thought about various things to make and found some slivered almonds and pistachios in the pantry. While I was thinking of what to make, I also had to make some rice for our Indian lunch and then I thought I should really give rice pudding a try ....  Now that it has been made and I did a taste test, I am actually slightly impressed! Can't wait to serve this to K and little miss D :)
ENJOY!

    Next step is to add the sugar and saffron strands. I have mentioned 3-4 tbsp of sugar, you can add less or more (hopefully not too much more) according to your taste. Let this cook for another 5 mins.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and add the nuts and the cardamom powder. Give it all a good mix. I let it sit for about 15mins before serving this.

  4. 4

    This dessert can be served both warm and cold.

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating!Thanks for visting my spot!
