Ingredients

  • 100g short-grain white rice
  • 50g sugar
  • 2tbsp ground caraway seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

To serve

  • grated coconut
  • pine nuts
  • pistachios

Method

Combine the rice, sugar, ground caraway and cinnamon in a pan. Pour in 800ml water and cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes. Keep stirring so the rice doesn’t stick.

Turn the heat to low as soon as the rice starts to bubble. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is completely cooked. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.

Tip into a food processor or blender and purée for 1 minute until smooth and creamy.

Divide the rice among 4 glasses or bowls and cool completely. Chill for at least 1 hour, until firm. Finish with a layer of grated coconut and nuts.
