There is no Nepali kitchen that does not know how to make it, and there are as many small variations as there are grandmothers, some use basmati, some short-grain, some sneak in a single bay leaf, some scent it with rose water at the end. What every version shares is the same ritual: long, slow simmering until the rice gives up its starch and the milk thickens into a fragrant, ivory-colored cream that you eat warm on a cool evening or chilled on a hot one.</p>
