This recipe was inspired by a dessert I had in India years ago. It was the first time I encountered the combination of cardamom and pistachios. The combination is such a favorite now that I even sprinkle cardamom and pistachios onto vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Notes

Short grain rice, like risotto or sushi rice, gives the creamiest rice pudding.
