In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup of the sugar with 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a deep amber caramel. Be careful not to burn it.

Carefully add the rinsed rice to the caramel. Stir well to coat the rice grains. Add the remaining 1.75 cups of water, cardamom pods, pandan leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked and most of the water has been absorbed.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - 5
Stir in the thick coconut milk and the remaining 0.5 cup of sugar. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, for another 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to a sticky, pudding-like consistency.
