Every country has a rice pudding, truly a global dish with just 2 ingredients with slight variations! I usually add Nutmeg and cinnamon instead of vanilla or cardamom!

I am German but as a child my mother always took me to a turkish cafeteria when we visited my dad at work. I allways had Pide and sutlac. It was and still is my favorite food- no schnitzel for me haha. We moved away and i have been desperately looking for recipes. This tastes exactly like the one i know…perhaps a little less sugar. The pide recipe is more difficult, but i had a huge success with a dough with baking powder instead of yeast. So yah for me it is the small homecook channels who often make the most authentic food, especially if you are looking for something international.

It is just something alike a kheer here in Pakistan but we eat it without baking we cold it in refrigerator ... Luv from Pakistan

This is something I see every country in the world has with it's own variation.
In Pakistan we call it " KHEER" & do not bake.
Just with milk sugar rice & cardamom.
To garnish with pistachio or almonds.
Will definitely try this Turkish version insha a allah.
Thanks a lot 😍
Love from pakistan/Bahrain❤

Merhaba Aysenur, In England we usually grate some nutmeg on the top to form a lovely skin when it's in the oven, and we eat it with a big spoonful of Strawberry jam on the side. Thanks for the lovely recipe, take care, David.

In the Philippines we have rice pudding also called champorado, but difference is its BROWN cuz its made of CHOCOLATE 🍫 its so good and usually eaten together with small dried fish as a snack, the sweetness complements the saltiness of dried fish

I tried this recipe and it came out so good !! I added some cinnamon sugar on top and used the grill + fan setting on my oven to caramelise it. Thanks so much for this recipe !!

Hi, we have the same in Albania and call it sultjash, of course it’s a Turkish influence since we have a lot of things in common, food, traditions and worlds.
But we don’t put it in the oven, just pour in bowls and let cool and then eat with cinnamon on top.
I made your recipe even in the oven and really liked it a lot
Thank you for sharing with us Turkey in all senses with us

I lived with Turkish people for 5 years, and this was my favorite.

I always wanted to have this just after meal.

I am based in London and have tried Sutlac once from a Turkish restaurant that had orange peel inside the sutlac which as so delicious. Some recipes add rosewater which some wouldn't prefer
