Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup crushed Strawberries
- 2 tbsp. Basmati rice
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. Vanilla essence
Instructions

- Heat a heavy bottom pan, pour 2 cups of milk in it and bring it to boil. Add the coarsely ground rice paste in hot milk and let it simmer on medium heat. Keep stirring till the milk thickens, it will take 10-12 minutes to get the right consistency which is neither too dry nor too runny.
