Roz Bel Laban | Egyptian Rice Pudding with a Middle Eastern Soul #shorts#food



🍚 Roz Bel Laban (Egyptian Rice Pudding)

This isn’t just any rice pudding — this is Roz Bel Laban, the Egyptian classic that warms the heart. This dish is a nostalgic comfort food across the Middle East.

One-Pot Traditional Comfort Dessert_

📝Ingredients:

¾ cup short-grain white rice (about 4 heaped tbsp, rinsed well)

¾ cup water

Pinch of salt

2 cups whole milk (or mix of milk + coconut/cream/oat etc. for flavor)

2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

½ tsp ground cinnamon or stick

⅛ tsp ground cardamom (opt.)

½ tsp orange blossom water or rose water (optional but adds an authentic touch)

1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold milk (opt. only if you like it extra thick)

🍳 Method:

1. Simmer Rice:

In a pot, add ¾ cup water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil.
Add the rinsed rice, reduce heat, and cover to simmer on low for 7–8 minutes — until water is almost absorbed and the rice is soft.

2. Add Milk & Simmer Again:

Pour in 2 cups of milk, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Keep stirring often to prevent sticking. Let it cook on low heat for 25–30 minutes or until the mixture thickens and rice is very soft.

3. Sweeten & Spice:

Add the sugar, cinnamon, and blossom water (if using). Stir gently.

If you want a thicker, creamier pudding, stir in the cornstarch-milk mix and let it cook for a few more minutes until you reach your desired consistency.

🧊 Serve:

Chill before serving, or serve warm if you’re craving comfort.
Top with golden raisins, chopped pistachios, almonds, or even a dusting of cinnamon.

💡 Tips :
Soaking the rice for 15 minutes before cooking helps it cook faster and become extra soft.

Use full-fat milk or a touch of cream for a rich texture.

The more you stir, the creamier it gets!

Want a twist? Try adding a splash of rose syrup or a few saffron strands soaked in warm milk for a royal touch.
