4 -6 servings
1/2 cup basmati rice

10 tbsp sugar
a few strands of saffron

1/2 cup thinly sliced cashews, slivered almonds or pistachios
Soak rice in water for 30 minutes before cooking. Drain.
Melt ghee in a large pan, add rice and saute until translucent.
Add milk to the rice, stir and simmer until liquid has been reduced by half.
Stir in sugar and saffron and cook until sugar is dissolved. Add the raisins, nuts and cardamon and simmer for a few more minutes.
Remove from heat and serve warm or cold.
