Rice Pudding

This sounds great, Have you tried washing it and doing it slowly in the oven to thicken it.

I haven't, but only because I don't like the skin!
No reason why it shouldn't be done that way.
Listening to the Ashes; Australia are 3 runs for 3 wickets!!!!

Oh I love the nutmegskin on a very thick rice pudding. My mum use to leave one in all day in her Aga and porridge in a double pan on top over night, and pies that melted in the mouth. Its the warmth and smells I remember still, although I am a good cook I have never quite captured it in my kitchens.

I'm a firm believer in "slow" cooking.
I like spicy food too, and a chilli or curry cooked the day before will always taste better.
I make pies with the excess casserole if there is any - it just works.

This sounds fantastic Meanie.....Yum Yum.

Me too, Meanie! I make a casserole with wild boar that our neighbour shares with us and it ALWAYS tastes better in a pie a couple of days after the casserole! And I'm with you on the wish for a recipe section. :o)))

This is how they make rice pudding in Bangladesh Meanie. They also add a hand full of desicated coconut. It tastes so yummy

That explains why my neighbours liked it so much!!! It's very adaptable too - you can add cardomon pods if you like. Add a little flour to any left overs, form into cakes and fry for sweet rice cakes which you can serve with a good chocolate ice cream.
My neighbour does an incredible desert with super fine noodles, cream, spices and fruit!

I love old fashioned rice pud done in the oven-- I don't like the skin but the others do so I take mine out from under ;o)

So do i love old fashion ricepudding, my mum use to make it alot.

I love the sound of this Meanie it has a lot of my favourite taste in it .. I will copy it !

oh the skin off the rice pudd takes me right back to my childhood.I remember someone saying that their mum called it "the love" . Has anyone tried to cook rice pud in a slow cooker? wondered if it would work

Thanks Meanie, for this one for the recipes page.

There has been a recipes page on here for over a year - under "R", or linkable via the "Featured on recipes from the garden" tab now located near the top of your blog. :-)

this sounds very good, just right to warm me up in the cold cold winter. i love coconut milk. i shall copy this one into my favourite recipes!
i have a lovely rogan josh recipe ~ make a good first course to this lovely rice pudding?

Don't keep it to yourself Sticki.............

thats another to add to my list to put on a blog! first found and used this recipe 17 years ago! it still works really well. its my favourite to do for when people come round for a meal.

ive put the recipe on a blog meanie! unfortunately didnt have a picture which is a shame ~ sorry

Thank you Sticki!
I have everything apart from chilli powder! I never use it. I do however have a very large bag of chillies in the freezer, would they work do you think? I have chilli flakes too, which I suppose are pretty much the same as powder really.....

im sure that would work ~ you must have a very well stocked kitchen!! chilli flakes are hotter than powder in my experience! you could add a little bit then add more later if it wasnt hot enough for you.

Hot is good, as long as it's not hot at the expense of flavour!
Yes, my kitchen (and freezer) is well stocked - I like to be able to cook what I want when I want.
Also, I spend a lot of time up the Cowley rd. in Oxford - it's the ethnic area of Oxford, so I always pop in one of the asian supermarkets and come home with plenty of goodies. And....my neighbour owns a tandoori delivery business. So bunches of fresh coriander are abundant around here!

thats a very good neighbour to have! the best thing about that recipe is the flavour

Ooh yes, a very good neighbour!

just made this ~ it was very good ~ OH send compliments to the recipe maker! will be making it again ~ many thanks!

Glad you liked it Sticki!
What sugar did you use?

some palm sugar but decided i wanted it a bit sweeter so used demerara ~ this may sound strange but i fancied having those little tinned mandarins with it next time ~ i hadnt got passionfruit or pomegranite ~ i used sultanas which worked very well. thanks again

Ooh, I love those little tinned mandarins from Waitrose! I quite often have one in my lunchbox.
I have a couple of mangoes, so I'll give that a go at the weekend.

i didnt know if they would be posh enough for your lovely pudding so i hesitated to say it but i just had a taste for them ~ nice shop too!!
