Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Cardamom: Gently crush the cardamom pods to release their fragrant seeds. Discard the pods and finely crush the seeds. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine Ingredients: In a deep, heavy-bottomed pan, combine the crushed cardamom seeds, whole milk, uncooked white rice, and 1 cup of unsalted butter. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Slow Cook: Cook over medium heat, stirring slowly and continuously for 90 minutes. Reduce heat as needed to prevent the milk from boiling or scorching. Patience is key to achieving the perfect creamy texture. (90 minutes)

04

Step

Sweeten and Thicken: Stir in the sugar and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, or until the porridge reaches a thick, luscious consistency. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Serve: Pour the rice porridge into a serving bowl. Top with 3 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt enticingly over the warm porridge. Dust generously with ground cinnamon. Serve warm for ultimate comfort, or chill for a refreshing treat.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider using brown butter (beurre noisette) instead of regular unsalted butter. The nutty notes will elevate the porridge to new heights.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference. Some prefer a less sweet porridge, while others enjoy a more decadent treat.
This porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore its creamy consistency.

    This is exactly how my grandmother used to make it! It brought back so many memories. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

  • Rosanna Stehr

    I tried this recipe with brown rice, and it worked well. It took a little longer to cook, but the nutty flavor was a nice addition.

  • Dakota Shanahan

    I was a little intimidated by the long cooking time, but it was totally worth it. The key is to keep stirring and not let it burn. I added a little vanilla extract at the end for extra flavor.
