Instructions
  1. Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Drain well. Add rice, cardamom and salt to a heavy-bottomed pot and stir well. Add coconut milk and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Notes
* For vegan: Use two cups of coconut cream (roughly two standard cans) and 4 cups of almond milk.
