Here is how you make Afghan Rice Pudding (shir berenj):

Put in a bowl milk with rice and cook it on low heat. keep mixing it and then put sugar and cook it till the mixture thickens. When it is cooked, mix cardamom and cover the dish. Keep in on low heat for a while. Then put it in a dish and garnish it with raisins, nuts and if you like also you can garnish it with cinnamon, but I love it with cardamom and nuts only. A great dessert is ready and you can serve it hot or cold depends on you, but usually in Afghanistan it is served cold, but in winter it is fantastice to have it hot with a cup of tea:-)Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HOMAIRA.
