Rose Water Rice Pudding

Submitted by DalekChef

"A very tasty rice pudding. The cardamom and rose water might take some getting used to, but try it! It is not so complicated to make. It is very yummy topped with jam or honey and raisins and nuts. You can also omit the sugar if you'd like to try something more savory."

Easy, very delicious and not to sweet! Which is just perfect for us! The recipe makes small servings. We ate 1/2 batch for 2 adults. I used Indian white Basmati rice as that is what I had on hand, no salt (might add a pinch next time), regular white sugar, whipping cream, I think I used a bit less Iranian rose water (more superior in quality), and freshly ground cardamom. I served it warm drizzled with a little homemade Middle Eastern sweets syrup which had Iranian rose water and lemon juice in it & a few pistachio nuts arranged on top. I will make this again!!
