Ingredients

Servings: 2

1 TABLESPOON Almonds (without skin)
1 TABLESPOON Cashew nuts
1 piece (à approx. 2.5 cm) Ginger
1 TABLESPOON pitted medjool dates
60 g white basmati rice
300 ml Whole milk
1/2 tsp, heaped G
1 TABLESPOON Raisins
5 Cardamom capsules (whole or only the seeds)
1 large pinch of ground turmeric
1/2 TEASPOON Coconut oil (optional)
1 TEASPOON Coconut chips (optional)
1/2 TEASPOON Jaggery (unrefined whole cane sugar from sugar cane or palm juice; optional)

Directions

1
Chop almonds or cashews and soak in water for about 1 hour. Peel ginger and chop finely. Chop dates. Rinse rice cold and drain. Put the rice in a pot with 100 ml water and the remaining ingredients.
2
Bring the rice slowly to the boil while stirring occasionally. Then simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is soft and a thick, creamy mash is formed.
3
For the garnish, if used, cook all the ingredients in a small pot for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the coconut chips are lightly browned and crispy.
4
Pour the rice pudding into two bowls and, if used, add the garnish.

TIP: Enjoy: As the dish contains milk, you should not enjoy it before or after a salty or sour meal - in Ayurveda this would be an unfavourable combination.
