What you need:
  • Gallon whole milk
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • raisins
  • blanched almonds
  • pressure cooker
What you do:
  • Rinse rice really well and place in pressure cooker
  • Add about 3/4ths of the milk
  • Cover and cook for an hour (or till the pressure cooker starts whistling milk is coming out the top - that's what I wait for)
  • Uncover, make sure the rice is cooked. It's probably gotten thicker, so add more milk till the consistency is what you like
  • Add the condensed milk, raisins and almonds
  • Let it cook on low heat for another 30-45 minutes till the almonds are soft, the raisins are plump and the house smells yummy
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can use a regular pot, you just have to keep an eye on the rice while it's cooking or you could have a huge mess on your hands. It is important to not use cooked rice and milk. You want the milk to cook the rice so it tastes cohesive and not separate from each other.
