2. Bring milk to boil with the cardamons in a large saucepan, add rice and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hours until the rice is very soft and the milk quite thick. As milk thickens it will be necessary to stir frequently with a wooden spooon, scraping thickened milk from bottom and sides of pan.

3. Add sugar and almonds and continue cooking until the consistency is like that of porridge. Remove from heat, pick out the cardamon pods. If you think the flavor needs intensifying, add ground cardamon.
