Ingredients

Method

1.In a large saucepan, combine milk and cinnamon. Heat on medium until almost boiling.
2.Stir rice into milk. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
3.Remove from heat. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in honey. Cool to room temperature.
4.Stir yoghurt through rice. Serve topped with pistachios, pomegranate seeds and extra honey. Drizzle with a little rosewater, if liked.

You can make a quick version of this by using 3 cups of leftover cooked white rice. Simply stir yoghurt and honey through with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Remove the seeds from pomegranates by halving and immersing the fruit in a bowl of water. Use your fingers to break it apart and separate the seeds from the membranes. Discard membrane and skin and drain off seeds.
