Ingredients

Sweet & Spicy Carrot Pudding

Carrot Pudding (Gajraila from Pakistan)

1 quart milk (I used whole milk because we had some but 2 percent would probably work)

1/4 cup basmati rice

1 pound carrots, scrubbed and grated

1/2 cup sugar (or more, depending on taste)

3/4 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup shelled pistachios

Directions

Pour milk into a sauce pan and add rice — soak for 30 minutes.

Add carrots, sugar and cardamom to the milk and rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste. Add more sugar if desired. An immersion blender can be used if you want a creamier texture. (Mine was pretty creamy just from the cooking). Finally, add the raisins and cook for 30 minutes longer.

When pudding is done, transfer to a serving dish or individual bowls. Garnish the top with the pistachios and more raisins. The recipe says to serve chilled, but I actually liked it a little warm. In fact, throughout the week, I would heat some up in the microwave for a minute or so before eating.
