Payesh with Date Palm Jaggery
Payesh with date palm jaggery is a Bengali rice pudding flavored with nolen gur, the fragrant winter jaggery made from date palm sap. Slow-cooked milk, short-grain rice, cardamom, nuts, and jaggery create a caramel-colored dessert with deep molasses notes.

π¨βπ³ Instructions
Rinse and soak the rice briefly, then drain well.
Bring milk, cardamom, and bay leaf to a simmer and reduce slightly.
Add rice and cook slowly, stirring often, until the grains are tender and the milk thickens.
Stir in date palm jaggery off the heat or over very low heat so the milk does not split.
Finish with ghee-toasted cashews and raisins.
