Step 1
Rinse the 0.5 cup basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3
Stir in the 0.25 cup sugar and 0.25 teaspoon saffron threads (crushed). Cook for 2 more minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the pudding turns a pale yellow.
Step 4
Spoon the pudding into small bowls and let cool slightly. Garnish each with 1 tablespoon rose petals before serving.
