A beloved Iraqi milk pudding, rizz bhalib is made by cooking rice with milk and sugar in a pressure cooker for speed, then flavouring it with rose water. Chilled in individual dishes and finished with cinnamon and nuts, it is a fixture of celebration tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the rice

8 min

Put the rinsed rice in the pressure cooker with the milk, sugar and salt. Seal the lid and bring to pressure over medium heat, then lower the heat and cook for 8 more minutes once it whistles.

2

Release the pressure

10 min

Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and let the steam release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid.

3

Flavour the pudding

3 min

Stir in the rose water, adding an extra spoon of warm milk if the mixture seems too thick.

4

Portion into dishes

15 min

Divide the hot mixture between serving dishes and let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.

5

Chill

120 min

Cover the dishes with cling film and chill for at least 2 hours — this is how long it takes for the pudding to set properly.

6

Serve

3 min

Sprinkle with cinnamon and crushed hazelnuts before serving.

Reminder

Never force-release the pressure cooker's steam — let it release naturally, or hot milk can splatter out. Allergens: contains milk and dairy, tree nuts (hazelnut).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you can't find rose water, a few drops of vanilla extract makes a plainer but still aromatic version.

Bayramda kalabalık bir sofra için üç kat yaptım, düdüklü sayesinde her seferinde 8 dakikada pişip zamandan kazandırdı; misafirlerim tarçınlı üstünü çok beğendi, bir dahaki sefere fındık yerine antep fıstığı deneyeceğim.
