Milky Rice Pudding (Shir Berenj)


I want to share another Persian dessert that I like. Shir berenj, direct translation  is milk rice. It is like Sholeh Zard but substitute Saffron liquid with milk. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
~ half cup of rice : soak 2 hours prior cook
~ 500 ml milk
~ 5 cups water
~ half cup sugar
~ 1/4 cup rose water

Method:
~ In a non stick pan, boil rice until soft, lower down heat, let it simmer until all water absorbed.
~ Add milk and stir frequently to avoid crusty on bottom of the pan. While stirring, push your spoon to the edge of  pan to mash the rice. This is to get a smooth pudding mixture.
~ Add in rose water and keep on stirring until you get smooth and concentrated mixture.
~ Transfer to serving plate or cup. Let it cool.


Normally shir berenj will be serve with honey or jam with cinnamon powder. You can chill it in refrigerator, eat it during a hot day, what a bliss! But I love to eat it for breakfast. What is your style??
