This luscious rice pudding was inspired by two of my favorite rice
desserts: the sweet sticky rice of Thailand and Indian kheer which is
often made with pistachios and cardamom. Fresh chopped mango make a good
addition, whether chopped and stirred right into the pudding or spooned on
top as a garnish - or a little of both.
