Rice pudding often gets a bad rap. I blame school dinners, with their slimy, claggy iterations, which were always covered by an unappealing skin. But I was the child at primary school who would skip the mains and head straight for dessert, and if there was rice pudding, even better! At the gurdwara, I’d skip the roti and go straight to a plate of kheer (rice pudding) with a jalebi (syrupy, deep-fried batter); I just love it. Today’s cold rice pudding with apple is comforting and refreshing after a meal.
