Parboiled Rice Payesh

Ingredients

  • Parboiled rice (1 cup)
  • Milk (1 liter)
  • Sugar (1 cup)
  • Raisins (for serving)
  • Chopped nuts (for serving)
  • Cardamom (2–3)
  • Cinnamon (2–3 sticks)
  • Cloves (2)
  • Bay leaf (1)

Method

  1. First, wash the parboiled rice very well and drain the water. Then cook 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water until tender and set it aside in a pot.
  2. In a pot, combine the milk, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, and sugar and bring it to a boil. When the sugar melts, add the cooked parboiled rice and stir gently over low heat. Keep stirring over low heat until the milk reduces and thickens. Do not stop stirring at any point, or the payesh may stick to the bottom of the pot. Finally, pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle raisins and chopped nuts on top.
