Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets or independent grocers in Lesotho. Look for long-grain white rice in the grain aisle, and find condensed milk in the long-life dairy section. Fresh lemons are readily available in the produce department; use a vegetable peeler to remove only the yellow zest.
Preparation method
- Combine the rice, water, and lemon zest in a large heavy-bottomed pot.
- Place the pot over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
- Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the water has evaporated.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the pot with the cooked rice.
- Stir everything thoroughly to ensure the mixture is well combined.
- Remove from the heat as soon as the pudding reaches a creamy, uniform consistency.
- Finish by dusting with ground cinnamon to taste before serving.
