Here we present one of them, Kheer, an Indian rice pudding. Serves 4 Ingredients: Instructions: Add the almonds, pistachio, saffron and raisins and simmer for a few minutes. Add the sugar and stir gently until completely dissolved. Stir in the rose water. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with a little crushed pistachio. Serve warm or chilled.

Oh, this sounds great. Does anyone know where to find rosewater in Santa Fe?
Mmmm….looks delicious!
Bonnie, try Ziggy’s International Market 1005 Pen Road, Santa Fe, NM 87505 (505) 986-5054
If you are unable to find it, you can perhaps substitute Rose Extract, just add a few drops at a time so it’s not to perfumey. I personally prefer Orange Blossom Water in place of Rose Water…..both should be available at any international market.
If there is one thing that’s completely optional in this receipe – it’s the rosewater. You could totally skip it
