I was searching for a recipe to use my leftover jasmine rice at breakfast. This was VERY GOOD! I paired the ingredient amounts down because I only had 2 cups of rice. I used 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2T cornstarch, but the same amount of butter and vanilla. I didn't have cardamom, so I substituted a dash of coriander. I only used 1/4 tsp cinnamon, a dash of mace and no saffron. It would be easy to overdo the spice in this dish. I only used 2T brown sugar (which was sweet enough for me). I also cooked it a bit longer to allow the rice to absorb more of the milk and soften since my rice came straight out of the 'fridge. I will definitely make it again!

This is a different rice pudding that is good. DD (4 years) picked out the golden raisins which I did find complemented the spices yet would cut them down another time. I used just cooked Indian white Basmati rice, an alternative milk that wasn't great, the rice was cooked with sea salt, I used sweet butter (unsalted), sweet rice flour instead of corn starch for the starch, whole bruised cardamom pods because I was lazy, alcohol free vanilla from the health food store, allspice in place of mace and nutmeg because e do not consume intoxicants, a big pinch of Spanish saffron, white sugar in place of the splenda, plus the rest of the ingredients. Ours wasn't very sweet. Enjoyed more at room temperature.

I had some leftover jasmine rice, which was perfect for this recipe. I found, however, that it got a little too thick and perhaps next time I would try less rice. The spice combination tasted very exotic, but could be a little overwhelming after a bit. I found some nice fresh whipped cream complemented this nicely. Thanks for posting this. Made for Spring PAC 2009.
