Title: Shir-Berinj (Rice Pudding)
Categories: Afghan
Yield: 4 servings

1/4 lb Rice
1 pt Milk
4 oz Sugar
4 oz Sultanas
Rose water or vanilla
Pistachio nuts

Wash the rice and spread it out on a flat board to dry. When completely
dry, crush to a third of the size of the grain. Boil the milk and allow it
to thicken, stirring constantly. When it is reduced to three-quarters of
the original quantity, add the rice and cook for a few minutes. Add sugar
and sultanas, and cook until you have a thick custard (10 to 15 minutes).
Remove from heat and flavor to taste with rose water or vanilla. Sprinkle
with pistachio nuts. Serve hot or cold.
