Egyptian Rice Pudding

Ingredients

3/4 cup Rice

1 1/2 cup water

4 cup Milk

1 Sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp corn flour

Raisins (Optional)

For Decoration:

Crushed nuts (Optional)

Grated coconut (Optional)

Steps 

Start by washing the rice and soaking it for about an hour

Meanwhile, take 4 1/2 cups of milk, and mix it with however much amount of sugar you choose to use.... I used about 1/2 a cup of sugar!

Leave on medium heat until just warm, not boiled

With the left over 1/2 cup of milk, add in the corn flour and mix

Now wash the rice and add in the 1 1/2 cups of water and leave on high heat until it boils, then lower the heat completely and leave until all the water is gone

Add the rice to the milk prepared earlier and leave on medium heat for about 50 mins, mixing every 10 mins so it prevents it from burning.

Add in the milk and the corn flour mixture and stir continuously until it thickens

Add in the vanilla and raisins if used and mix

Start serving the pudding into plates and decorate with crushed nuts and coconut.

This can be served hot or be refrigerated and be served cold.

Enjoy!
