This milky rice pudding just reminds me of Ramadan, I remember my mum letting me stand on a step and stir this lovely dessert, it would be my trigger that the end of the fasting day was close. I remember putting dibs on my favourite bowl, announcing to my siblings that it was mine and placing it on a specific shelf in the fridge ready for dessert later that evening.
