Ingredients
- 100g Tilda Original Pure Basmati Rice
- 200ml almond milk
- 400ml coconut milk tin
- 40ml Maple Syrup – you can adjust this if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet
- 5 cardamom pods (seeds only, pounded to a fine powder)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp of cashew nuts, pistachios & raisins
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- Pinch of coconut shards
Method
-
In a wide, heavy bottom sauce pan, add the rice, full fat milk and coconut milk, and heat over medium heat. Keep stirring it and bring to the boil.
-
Simmer and stir in the maple syrup and the crushed cardamom seeds.
-
This needs to cook gently for about 30 minutes. Make sure you stir the rice so it doesn’t stick. If it feels too dry just add a little more milk.
-
Test the rice by squeezing it between your fingers. Once it's soft and cooked through the pudding should have a lovely creamy consistency, remove it from the heat and cover with a lid.
-
In a frying pan heat the coconut oil and add cashew nuts to toast slightly, add the pistachios and raisins and fry for a few seconds.
-
Pour the fried nuts along with the butter over the Payasam with a sprinkle of the coconut and pomegranate seeds, and serve warm.
