Description

This traditional Indian rice flour pudding, often known as Khichdi or a variation of Payasam, offers a comforting and silky texture that is both nostalgic and indulgent. Unlike wheat-based puddings, the rice flour creates a uniquely smooth consistency that coats the palate gently. The base of simmered milk and sugar is elevated with the floral notes of rose water, making it a fragrant treat. Topped with crunchy blanched almonds and pistachios, it provides a delightful contrast in textures. This dessert is perfect for festive occasions, family gatherings, or simply as a soothing sweet end to a hearty meal. It is vegetarian and easy to prepare with pantry staples, delivering a rich, home-style flavor that warms the heart.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Blanch almonds and pistachios by soaking in hot water for 2 minutes, then peel and shred or chop them finely.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the rice flour with a little cold milk to form a smooth, lump-free slurry.
  3. Pour the remaining milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  4. Gradually pour the rice flour slurry into the simmering milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  5. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  6. Add the sugar and stir for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until fully dissolved and the pudding is smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly for about 30 minutes.
  8. Stir in the rose water and the prepared nuts.
  9. Pour into individual serving dishes and serve warm or chilled.
