Ingredients
- Milk - 4 cups / 1 liter

Instructions
- Rinse rice 2 to 3 times. Soak the rice in enough water for 30 minutes.

- Stir and simmer the milk and let the grain cook. It will take about 25 minutes to cook the rice. Continue to stir often so that lumps are not formed.
- Add sugar and cardamom powder. Stir well and let it cook for another 5 more minutes. Stir it continuously. Remember to scraping the sides.
