What is Rice Pudding?

Rice pudding is basically dish that is made up from rice with water or milk, sugar, and other ingredients such as cinnamon and raisins or dry fruits.  This is basically devoured as dessert in India. 

But in other parts of the world, the adding of sugar is basically added when you are preparing it as a dessert.

Western Way of Making Rice Milk Pudding

The secret to any rice pudding is timing of the sugar.  It must not be added until the rice is thoroughly cooked otherwise it will forever remain forever hard. Also, be sure to test rice for tenderness before adding the sugar in final stage of recipe.

The method that I am about to share with you takes about 25 minutes of prepping, 20 minutes of cooking and be prepared to devour in 45 minutes.

Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan.
stir rice into boiling water.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.


In a clean saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar and salt.

Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg, and raisins; cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.

In this recipe we don't fully cook the vegetables. We just saute it(remove rawness) But if you like to cook the vegetables then you can cook it by adding water for 5-10 minutes and make it dry and then add boiled rice.
To avoid sticking or burning you can turn off the flame while mixing.
When adding soya sauce, mix it well.
