Namaste

People often comment on how deliciously scrumptious our food is at our Balanced Life Retreats, Mini Yoga Retreats and Sunday Spiritual Gatherings, so I thought I'd publish this recipe for an Indian style Sweet Rice that tastes so heavenly it's hard not to go back for seconds not to mention thirds or fourths. This recipe is for 2 light eaters or one hungry person.

Absolutely Delicious Sweet Rice
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups full cream milk
1 heaped Tbsp butter
6 cardamon pods
1/4 tsp black pepper
5 bay leaves

2 Tbsp medium grain white rice

1/3 cup currants
1/2 cup white sugar

Method
Bring first 5 ingredients to the boil, then add the washed rice and stir to bring back to the boil. Turn the heat down to medium, cover with a lid and leave to slowly boil for 40 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.

After 40 minutes remove the bay leaves and cardamon pods and add the washed currants, stir then leave to boil for 10 more mins. If your mixture is starting to thicken you will need to stir it often. Lastly add the sugar and boil for 5 minutes stirring the whole time. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. As it cools it will thicken.
