The saffron and cardamom in this treat help to make milk easier to digest. Kapha beware as this dessert is heavy, gooey and oily. However, cutting sugar and ghee in half will somewhat minimize these Kapha aggravating qualities. Use the recipe for gold milk as another option for this tasty dish, adding honey after cooking and cooling.

are you sure its 8 cups of milk for 1/2 cup of rice...and a whole cup of sugar?

Yes - rice absorbs a lot of liquid. This rice pudding is more like a soup than a solid. You are always welcome to use less sugar - we do!
