Sweet Rice

Celebrations and sweets go hand in hand. As this year comes to an end ,here is a sweet dish for you all. May the year ahead be filled with immense joy and prosperity. Wishing all my readers a joyous 2015!

           This colourful, aromatic dish is commonly made in Indian households during festivals and loved by all. Sweet rice is a delicious treat with aroma of strands of saffron and dry fruits infused into it. It can be prepared by preparing a sugar syrup of two thread consistency or by letting cook slowly where the sugar dissolves. I am using the second method here.

INGREDIENTS :

• rice 1 cup
• sugar 1 cup
• saffron 1 pinch
• cloves 2
• cardamom powder 1/2 tsp
• milk 1tbsp
• ghee or clarified butter  1/2 cup

METHOD :

• Add warm milk to saffron strands and keep aside.
• Roast the cashewnuts along with cloves in a little ghee and keep aside.
• Take a thick bottomed vessel ,wash the rice ,add adequate quantity of water and allow to cook on a low flame. Put the saffron into it.
• When the rice is cooked,add  sugar and ghee to it , stir and allow to cook on low heat.
• Later,add cardamom powder and garnish with dry fruits.
