• 1/2 cup raw rice washed and drained
• 1/2 cup grated jaggery
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 lt low fat milk
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp cardamom pwd
• 1 tbsp ghee
• 10-12 cashew nuts
• 1 tbsp raisins

Heat a pan, add a tbsp of ghee and toast the cashewnuts and raisins till golden brown. Remove from pan, keep aside.

Heat a vessel, add grated jaggery. Let the jaggery melt over slow flame till its sticky on touch. Don’t over cook it, it should basically completely melt. Strain the jaggery and cool.

In a separate vessel, bring milk and water to a boil. Lower heat and add the rice to the milk. Cook until the rice is soft and the mixture turns thick. Remove from heat and cool.

Once cool, add the jaggery syrup to the cooled cooked milk and combine well. Add the cardamom pwd, salt and toasted cashews and raisins. Serve warm or refrigerate until chilled. It tastes good both warm and chilled.
