- Step 1
Wash rice until the water runs clear, then drain in a sieve. Spread on a towel and use a rolling pin to break the rice into smaller pieces. You do not want a mush, or evenly sized pieces. Set aside in sieve to dry.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, place milk in a large, heavy pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, then lower the heat until milk is barely simmering. Add the cinnamon and cardamom. Cook 45 minutes or until the milk has reduced to about 6 cups; stir frequently to prevent sticking and to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. (If a skin does form, stir it back in.)
- Step 3
Add rice and salt and continue to cook over low heat, stirring, until rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. As it cooks, the mixture will thicken; if the rice is not yet cooked and the mixture is very thick, add more milk.
- Step 4
When rice is very soft but not mushy, add sugar and stir to dissolve. Cook 5 minutes, then taste for sweetness; add more sugar if you wish. Remove cinnamon and cardamom. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Joan
Do you real open the cardamom pods or leave the, whole?
john blazosky
The amount of rice is way off for 8 cups of milk
Anouk
Can this be made with skim or 2% milk?
Haley
I used this recipe and loved it! It was my first time making rice pudding and I was really worried it wouldn't get thick enough. But these proportions are perfect and it just takes a lot of patience and stirring over the stovetop.

If you have to fish them out, better that they be whole.
