In this Middle Eastern treat, ground almonds are cooked with sugar and milk, then finished with honey syrup and orange blossom water.

Ingredients

Pudding
750ml milk
100g ground rice (rice flour)
40g ground blanched almonds
80g caster sugar
1/2 a vanilla bean, split in half
150ml plain yoghurt
juice of one lime

Syrup
150ml honey
50ml water
1/2 tsp cardamom seeds
2 tsp orange blossom water

Method

For the pudding
Whisk the milk with the ground rice, ground almonds and sugar until combined and pour into a heavy-based pot. Add vanilla bean. Gently heat, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon until the mixture boils and thickens. Reduce the heat and continue to cook, stirring for a couple of minutes. The mixture should be thick but of a pouring consistency - add more milk if the mixture has become too thick. Remove and discard the vanilla bean. Stir in the yoghurt and lime juice. Pour the mixture into little serving bowls or glass dishes and refrigerate until chilled.

For the syrup
Combine all the ingredients except the orange blossom water in a saucepan and simmer for 5 mins. Allow to cool then stir in the orange blossom water and pour over the puddings and serve. (You could make the syrup ahead of time and pour over just before serving).

Serves 6-8.
