Apple Rice Pudding

Happy Women’s day to all my lovely readers!!!

This is the pudding I make for my son. If I give him cut apples he refuses to eat, but if I trick him in the form of pudding its difficult for him to identify. This easy rice pudding is not only my son’s favorite, but even I like it.

Apple Rice Pudding

Rice – 1/4 cup

Water –  1 cup

Apple – 2, peeled and roughly chopped

Milk – 3 tbsp

Sugar – 1 tbsp (Adjust according to your preference)

Cinnamon powder – 1/2 tsp

Cardamom powder – pinch

Salt – a  pinch

Method:

• Pulse the rice coarsely in a blender.  Add apple to the blender, and without adding water,  blend till the apple is pureed well
• Transfer the contents into a saucepan. Add water, cinnamon powder, cardamom powder and sugar to the apple – rice mixture and cook over medium-low heat  until rice is cooked. Sprinkle some water if required

• Add milk and salt; cook for 3-4 minutes. Switch off and serve warm/chil

My Notes:

• Adjust the water/milk according to the desire consistency
• Instead of pulsing the rice can also use them whole
• My son is having sweet tooth like mom so I add sugar. Instead can avoid sugar and prepare the pudding
• Avoid replacing milk for water as it will cuddle. If you want to cook the rice with milk, add apple puree after the rice is cooked
• Can add raisin, nuts like cashew, almonds, pecan etc. to make it rich
