INSTRUCTION :
To make this type of porridge, you have to soak the rice in water from the day before.

Choose a very thin silk cloth or lace cloth with very small and compact holes and place it on a bowl and pour the diluted yeast on it.
Of course, you should do this slowly so that the fabric does not slip.
Then gather the cloth all around and squeeze the rice juice. The more rice you have, the more often you do this.
Pour the resulting juice into a saucepan and put it on a very low heat and stir regularly with a wooden spoon so that it does not clog and become lumps.
After 4 minutes when the rice juice is hot, add the milk little by little and stir.
After a quarter of the heat, when the rice smells raw, add rose and sugar to it and stir the porridge until it forms large bubbles and the surface starts to wrinkle.
Finally, add the cardamom to the porridge and after stirring a little, turn off the heat. Pour the porridge in the desired dishes and garnish with portulaca oleracea and cinnamon seeds.
