A classic rice pudding Khejur Gurer Payesh Recipe from Kolkata prepared with date palm jaggery. Although any short grain rice would work but in Kolkata, people go for a distinct kind of short grain rice called gobindo bhog. It has a lovely sweet aroma.
Ingredients:
1-cup short grain rice (I used Kolkata’s special aromatic rice, gobindo bhog)
2 cups whole milk
3 cups heavy cream
4 green cardamoms
1 dry bay leaf
handful raisins
handful cashews
6 to 7 tablespoons date palm jaggery (depends on how sweet you prefer the pudding)
