Ingredients

Large pot of water Soaked Rice 500g Clarified Butter 1/2 Cup 3 Cardamom 1 Star Anise 1-2 inch Cinnamon Stick Sugar 300g Milk 1&1/2 Cup Dry Fruits ( Almonds, Pistachio, Coconut, Dry Dates ) Red Food color 1/4 tsp Green Food color 1/4 tsp Yellow Food color 1/4 tsp Pink Food color 1/4 tsp Elaichi Essence 1/4 tsp Syrup Filled Balls 10-15

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

Start by boiling water in a pot. Add the soaked rice and cook it until it’s about 80% done. Once the rice is almost cooked, turn off the heat and drain the water.

02

Step 2

In another pot, melt some clarified butter over medium heat. Toss in the cardamom, star anise, and cinnamon stick, and let them sizzle for about a minute to release their aroma.

03

Step 3

Pour in the sugar and milk, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Then, add your dry fruits and cook for another couple of minutes.

04

Step 4

Add the partially cooked rice to the pot and gently mix everything together. Now, add a few drops of red, green, yellow, and pink food coloring along with a little elaichi (cardamom) essence. Stir well.

05

Step 5

Cover the pot and let it cook on low heat for about 15 minutes so the flavors meld and the rice finishes cooking.

Step 6

Once it’s done, take off the lid and give the rice a light mix. Finally, gently fold in some syrup-soaked rasgullas for a sweet, delicious twist. Enjoy!
