I've made this before. I added just a little bit of lime juice. We love this dessert. -
I made a different recipe for this and it was also without cardamom so I dont think it is forgotten texasgal #3, some recipes for this just dont have it included though I'm sure it would be good included. Also the recipe I followed added the rose water 30 minutes before the end of cooking and it turned out delicious anyway. I did not make this particular recipe so I wont star it as proportions are different. -
You forgot ground kardamom and the rosewater needs to be added at the end . You do not cook the rice once you added the rosewater.
