Mango Rice Pudding

Made this a while ago for a Thai themed potluck dinner...tastes good warm or cold. Very comforting, and works great for breakfast too.

1/4 cup short grained rice (like arborio or sushi rice)
1 cup water
1 cup milk or half'n'half
2 cups mango pulp
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sugar or honey (to taste)
2 teaspoons crushed cardamom seeds
1 tsp grated ginger
1/4 cup dessicated coconut
2 cups diced fresh mango (some sweet, some tangy)

Place the rice and water in a pan, simmer on low flame stirring so that rice cooks.
Add milk, mango pulp, sugar, salt and ginger. Simmer some more till rice is creamy and liquid is absorbed.
Add coconut milk and cardamom and simmer for about 5 min.

Mix in mango and dessicated coconut, turn off flame.
Keep stirring occasionally till it cools.

Serve lukewarm or cold..garnish with crushed cardamom if you wish.
