Ingredients




8 cups of whole milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
I cup rice
A pinch of salt
A generous pinch of Saffron
3 Cardamom pods – you could use either the powdered version or make your own by powdering up the seeds
1 tsp Vanilla
Cashews and raisins

Preparation

1 Soak the saffron strands in 2 teaspoons of lukewarm milk. 2 Mix together the milk, rice and sugar into the slow cooker. 3 Cook on high for one hour and then on low for about 6 hours or more. 4 Stir in-between to ensure the rice is not sticking to the pan or clumping but do this no more than once or twice as you are not supposed to open a slow cooker too many times during the cooking process. 5 The rice may seem whole and piecey but once you stir the mixture, it will break down well. 6 About half and hour or even an hour before removing add in the saffron, cardamom and vanilla. 7 Mix well. 8 Add in the cashews and raisins. 9 If it’s very thick , then thin it out with some milk before serving.
