April 24, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Snack Recipes at 9:12 am |

Hello there, you! Wishing you a happy & healthy Tuesday morning.

On the snack menu for today we have a very interesting recipe from Pakistan, Carrot Pudding. It’s a little sweet & a little spicy, which works out perfectly. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 quart whole milk
1/4 cup basmati rice
1 pound carrots, scrubbed and grated
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup shelled pistachios

What’s Next:

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 & enjoy!

Eat well & Laugh often!
