2 cups Rice

6 tsp sugar (or better is sugar substitute)
1 tbsp cardamom

Raisins
Nuts (almonds, walnuts or pishtachios) just a little for garnish

Directions
Put in a bowl milk with rice and cook it on low heat. keep mixing it and then put sugar and cook it till the mixture thickens.
When it is cooked, mix cardamom and cover the dish. Keep in on low heat for a while.
Then put it in a dish and garnish it with raisins, nuts and if you like also you can garnish it with cinnamon, but I love it with cardamom and nuts only.
A great dessert is ready and you can serve it hot or cold depends on you, but usually in Afghanistan it is served cold, but in winter it is fantastice to have it hot with a cup of tea:-)

ANTHEAMS
Delicious.I put 1 oz brown rice, 1 pint skim milk, (much less rice to milk) 2 tsp honey/sugar/syrup, cardoman and lemon zest, into an oven proof bowl and bake it covered overnight in a slow oven.The result is light and creamy. I use sugar substitute or sweet fruit to sweeten for fewer cals. - 5/13/11
