Brown Rice vs White Rice
Traditionally, rice pudding is made with white rice. If you are going with the white rice method, then choose your rice wisely. Indian rice pudding (Kheer) is made using Basmati rice. For this recipe, you can use any short grain rice.
I prefer brown rice pudding because it is healthier than white rice. That’s mainly because it’s less processed then white rice.
Also, brown rice has more fiber than white rice.
Answering Common Questions
Yes, you can use any long or short grain rice in this recipe. Short grain is preferable, but if you don’t have it in your pantry, go with long grain.
Yes, use leftover brown rice or white rice to make this pudding. Add about 1tsp of water to 1 cup of cooked rice. Mix in the other ingredients, heat it up for about 2-3 minutes and serve.
For 1/2 cup of brown rice, add 1 cup of water.
Refrigerate and use it within 2-3 days of making it.
🍅 Handy Tip: Buy your brown rice in bulk from bulk food stores or Indian grocery stores because it is so much cheaper.
Storage
- To refrigerate leftover pudding, transfer to glass containers with lids and refrigerate
- For freezing, make sure the rice pudding is cooled to room temperature. Transfer leftovers to freezer friendly containers and put it in the freezer. It’s not going to taste great because coconut milk doesn’t freeze well. So, use it up within a week of freezing it.
Toppings for brown rice pudding
- Raisins (golden raisins are better, but you can always use regular raisins in a pinch)
- Pecans
- Berries
- Peaches
- Bananas
- Avocados
🍅 Handy Tip: You can use pecan pieces instead of whole or pecan halves. The pieces keep the texture of pudding.
