Cover and cook for 20 minutes, while stirring once in between. If the liquid falls short, add 1/4 cup more of water. The cooking time depends on the rice, the older it is, the longer it’ll take to cook. Alternately, you can even soak the rice for 4-5 hours to decrease the cooking time.

Pro tips:

1. This Indonesian pudding tastes best with mango.

2. The cooking time depends on the quality of the grain.

3. Since the rice hasn’t been soaked, it is important to cook it in a nonstick pan and keep it covered while cooking. Do not open it frequently.
