Serves 4
Ingredients
400ml Tin coconut milk
400ml Cold water
1-2 Star anise
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 Cardamom pods, crushed
3 Tablespoons caster sugar
150g Pudding rice
4 Figs

Method

1. Pour the coconut milk and water in a pan, then stir in the cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and sugar.
2. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat.
3. Place the rice in a different pan and heat for 1-2 minutes. Stir in a third of the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until almost all of the milk has been absorbed.
4. Gradually ladle in the rest of the milk, stirring continually until it has been fully absorbed. Keep going until the rice is tender, about another 15 minutes.
5. Scrape the seeds out of the figs, then put the rice pudding in bowls and put the fig seed/flesh on top of the pudding.
