Directions

  1. Heat the ghee in a large saucepan with the bay leaves and cardamom. Add the rice, a little milk, and the amount of water needed, then increase the heat, leaving the lid slightly ajar.
  2. Once the rice has been cooked and starts to soften, pour in the remaining milk.
  3. Continuously stir from the bottom up with a ladle, as the payesh can stick to the bottom. Adjust the heat as needed. ≈ 4 min
  4. While stirring, gradually add the sugar. It will release some water, but the mixture will become smooth again as you continue to stir. ≈ 4 min
