A delicious and creamy dessert made with coconut milk and flavored with saffron.
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 coconut milk 400ml
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 tsp saffron strands
- 1/4 cup pistachios chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp ghee
Instructions
- Wash the basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 15 minutes. Drain the rice and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the drained rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, condensed milk, saffron strands, sugar, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let the rice simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the pudding has thickened.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios and raisins. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly.
- Serve the coconut and saffron rice pudding warm or chilled, garnished with additional chopped pistachios and saffron strands, if desired.

Love this recipe! Just made it for my family and everyone wants seconds! 😍
That’s awesome! I love hearing that! What other dishes do you recommend for family dinners?
This pudding was absolutely delicious! The saffron added a lovely flavor. Will make again.
This recipe’s easy! Simple ingredients and it came out perfect! Kudos! 👍
How much is 1/4 tsp in real measurements? I got confused. Is it a lot? 🤔
1/4 tsp is really just a tiny amount, kinda like a pinch. You won’t need to worry, it won’t be too much! 😊
I think it’s not a lot… but if you’re unsure, maybe just put a lil bit less? Just to be safe.
Too much cardamom, I couldn’t taste the coconut. I’ll stick to the classic rice pudding.
I think the cardamom really adds a unique flavor! You should give it another shot.
Too much cardamom?? I never heard that before. I loved it just like this! Classic is boring sometimes.
Rice pudding’s for dessert, not for breakfast! Who eats this in the mornin’?!
It was okay, but I think I missed something. The texture was off for me.
I think the texture might be off if you didn’t simmer it long enough. Did you follow all the steps?
I found it pretty creamy! Maybe next time try adding more coconut milk?
I added a banana while cooking, it’s super bouncy now! LOL! 🍌
That sounds like a fun twist! Banana would definitely add a unique flavor. I might need to try that! 😄
Weird choice, but if you liked it then cool! But rice pudding with banana? Not sure about that…
