Rice porridge with spices in a multicooker

4 servings

40 minutes

Spiced rice porridge is a fragrant and delicate dish inspired by traditional Russian cuisine. Basmati, known for its subtle nutty flavor, pairs perfectly with the warmth of cinnamon and the spice of cardamom. This porridge has a soft, silky texture due to slow cooking in a multicooker, while sesame adds crunch and a light nutty note. Historically, rice porridges with spices were often served in Russian homes for warmth and comfort on cool days. It is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or a cozy evening treat. The addition of vegetable oil gives the porridge richness, making it especially appetizing. It pairs perfectly with a cup of hot tea.
