Happy Women's day to all my lovely readers!!!
This is the pudding I make for my son. If I give him cut apples he refuses to eat, but if I trick him in the form of pudding its difficult for him to identify. This easy rice pudding is not only my son's favorite, but even I like it.

Notes
Adjust the water/milk according to the desire consistency
Instead of pulsing the rice can also use them whole
My son is having sweet tooth like mom so I add sugar. Instead can avoid sugar and prepare the pudding
Avoid replacing milk for water as it will cuddle. If you want to cook the rice with milk, add apple puree after the rice is cooked
Can add raisin, nuts like cashew, almonds, pecan etc. to make it rich

This looks like a nice simple thing even I could make here in Japan. This must not be a traditional Indian dish per se, but your own idea? So many things I would love to try from your site here, and I have just six more months here before I will either finish my degree and move back to the states and/or get a job and be able to order any specially ingredients I like from online, even in a small Japanese town. Won't that be nice! For now, I am enjoying the local food as much as possible while I can. Thanks for continuing this nice website! Best,
