Jaggery Rice (Indian Dessert)

Ingredients Needed:

• 400 gm Basmati rice
• 250 gm jaggery
• 4 IB cloves
• 4 cup water
• 3.5oz Ghee
• 1 1/2 teaspoon IB green cardamom
• 2 tablespoon IB flaked almonds

Method:

Step1 :

To prepare this delicious dessert, first wash the rice 4-5 times and soak for about 15-20 minutes. Then put a deep-bottomed pan on medium flame and add water in it. Bring it to a boil and add soaked rice in it along with cloves. Let the rice cook until they are tender and firm. When the rice are cooked, drain the water properly.

Step 2 : Melt ghee and add jaggery

Now, put a saucepan on medium flame and melt ghee in it. When the ghee is hot enough, add the jaggery powder. If you do not have jaggery powder available, you can simply cut the jaggery in pieces and add it in the pan. This will take a little longer time, but will give you the same taste.

Step 3 : Mix all the ingredients and cook

Step 4 : Relish!

Garnish with almonds and nuts. Serve hot.
