Ingredients:
One bottle (8oz/235 mL) Vanilla Ensure®, chilled
2 teaspoons (10 mL) vegetable oil
2/3 cup (150 mL) white basmati rice
2 green or brown cardamom pods (or 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) ground cardamom)
3 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
One cinnamon stick, broken in half (or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
1/4 teaspoon salt (1 mL)
2/3 cup water (150 mL)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
