1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews)
Combine soaked rice and milk in a heavy bottomed pan. Bring to a boil then simmer on medium heat for 20–25 minutes. Stir to avoid sticking.

Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Adjust according to flavor preference. Let simmer for 5–10 minutes. Add cardamom powder for flavor.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped nuts. Serve warm or chilled.
