SC - Looking for Period recipe for Khir

[Korrin S DaArdain]

Does anyone have a period recipe for rice pudding. I have this one but I
would like to have a period recipe with documentation.

Khir (India Rice Pudding with Cardamom and Nuts)

8 cups (2 L) milk
1/2 cup (125 ml) uncooked basmati or other long-grained white rice
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) finely chopped unsalted blanched almonds
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground cardamom
1 tsp (5 ml) rose water (optional)
1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted, sliced blanched almonds, lightly toasted

Bring the milk to a boil over high heat in a 5 to 6 quart (5-6 L)
saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent a skin from forming on top.
Reduce the heat to moderate and continue to boil for 30 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the rice and cook an additional 30 minutes, stirring
frequently, until the rice has almost disintegrated. Add the sugar and
finely chopped almonds and stir for 15 minutes over low heat until the
pudding is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon heavily. Remove from
the heat, add the cardamom and optional rose water, and pour into a 7 by
12 inch (20x30 cm) baking dish, spreading it with a spatula so the top is
smooth. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and refrigerate for at least
four hours, until it is thoroughly chilled and somewhat firm to the
touch. Serves 10 to 12.
