Cream of wheat pudding (সুজির পায়েস): 

This recipe is part of the mishtimukh group. For details about “mishtimukh” see my post on mishtimukh. This would fall under payesh category.

Ingredients:

o   Milk 1 liter

o   Cream of Wheat 50 gm

o   Sugar 5 TBSP or as per your taste

o   Lemon Zest 1 tsp

o   Almond slices handful

Method:

• On a heavy bottom pan, simmer the milk over low flame to reduce in half. Make sure to stir frequently. Otherwise you might end up with a scorched pan and burned milk.
• When the milk is reduced to half, put the cream of wheat into the milk slowly. You should constantly stir the milk while adding the cream of wheat so that the cream of wheat doesn’t form any clump. I used an egg bitter but feel free to use any spatula or fork.
• After about 3 minutes, start adding the sugar as per your taste. 
• After about 5 minutes, add the lemon zest and let everything simmer for about couple of minutes.
• Pour the pudding on a serving dish. Garnish with Almond slices.
• Serve chilled
