Directions
Slow-Cooker Indian Rice Pudding,This is the 2nd of 3 Indian recipes found in 1 of my Grandparents.com Newsletters. From The Indian Slow Cooker: 50 Healthy, Easy, Authentic Recipes by Anupy Singla, this an Indian-inspired rice pudding described as unlike any you’ve tried before. Flecked w/golden raisins & sprinkled w/pistachios, it’s sweet (w/o being overly so) & flavored by cardamom, a spice commonly used in Indian cooking. Use a 5-qt slow cooker & serve hot or cold. This recipe yields 9 cups, but is easily halved. To make this dish in a 3 1/2-qt slow cooker, halve all ingredients & cont w/the recipe. A half recipe makes 5 cups. There are other recipes already entered for Indian rice puddings, but I didn’t find any that used a slow cooker method. I allowed 10 min for ingredient prep, but there is no other real prep involved. *Enjoy!*,I’m glad I tried the recipe, but was disappointed with the result. I was delighted to see a CrockPot recipe for rice pudding in the ZWT India Cookbook so knew I had to try it. I’m not sure if the problem was my expectations or unfamiliarity of Indian style rice puddings. At 3 hours it was still a liquid so I cooked an additional hour and stirred several times. At that point it had thickened into a pudding like consistency, but the texture of the rice was more porridge like. The result was just okay for us although I sprinkled cinnamon & vanilla on mine. I think couldn’t get past my “southern style” expectations which are more custard like. Notes: I did use a crockpot liner & sprayed it with cooking spray. Thank you for sharing the recipe twissis. You brought a new dining adventure into my home & that’s always welcome! 🙂
