INGREDIENTS

1⅓ cup plain rice
2⅔ cups water
410g tin (almost 2 cups) unsweetened evaporated milk (I used Nestle Carnation)
397g tin (about 1½ cups) sweetened condensed milk (I used Nestle Carnation)
1 cinnamon stick (to be removed later)
3 pinches salt
½ -1 unwaxed lime peel (peel in one piece, not zest, to be removed later), can be also replaced with lemon, orange peel or 4-5 whole cardamom pods (crushed slightly with a side of knife blade)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon to sprinkle
fresh strawberries or other not too sweet fruits to serve on a side (I used 400g strawberries) – optional

METHOD

Place rice and water in a large saucepan and bring to boil, add salt, cinnamon stick and lime peel.
Reduce fire and cook covered till rice is soft.
Stir in condensed and evaporated milks, vanilla extract and cook till begins to thicken.
Pour into small bowls, sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

Serve warm or cold, optionally with fresh strawberries or other fruits on a side.

Make 6 servings (230ml each).
