Rum Raisin Rice Pudding

List of Ingredients




2 cups whole milk
1 cup condensed milk (sweetened)

1/3 rd cup basmati rice-washed and soaked in warm water
2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

A few saffron strands for colour

1/4 cup raisins
4 tbsp Dark Rum like Bacardi Reserva (I'm down to the end of the bottle just making desserts)

Method:

Soak the raisins in the rum for a few hours

Combine rice and salt, and cook the rice in one cup of milk with saffron, by simmering for 7-8 min till most of the milk is absorbed. Or just pressure cook it in milk for one whistle till half-cooked.

In the cooked rice, stir in the remaining milk, half the condensed milk ,sugar and boil till rice is very well cooked. This will take another 10-15 minutes.

Stir in the beaten egg rapidly. It's ok if it curdles a bit, it will mix in well.

Take the pan off the heat, add remaining condensed milk, vanilla extract, raisins soaked in rum. Stir well.

Pour into a bowl and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of pudding to prevent a layer from forming on top.

Serve chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.


Notes:
The main tastes are those of rum and a mild sweet vanilla flavour. You can add sugar depending on the sweetness of condensed milk.

The original recipe asked for 3 cups of half and half which I substituted with whole and condensed milk, therefore reduced the sugar. If you use half and half, use 1/4 cup of sugar.

Also the rice was initially cooked in water, while I cooked it in milk. I hate adding water to rich desserts.
