Sweet Rice Flour Dumpling Fudge
A rarely-seen Indian confection that folds tiny steamed-then-simmered glutinous rice flour dumplings into a thickened condensed milk and ghee fudge base, finished with cardamom and a scatter of pistachio. The chewy dumplings give this fudge a textural surprise against the dense, caramelised milk-solid backdrop typical of Indian mithai.

Instructions
1
Knead the glutinous rice flour with a teaspoon of milk until a smooth, pliable dough forms, then roll into 8-10 tiny pea-sized dumplings between your palms.
2
Bring a small pan of water to a simmer and drop the dumplings in; cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface, then drain well and set aside.
3
Warm the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat, then stir in the condensed milk and desiccated coconut.
4
Cook the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, for 7-9 minutes until it thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan.
5
Fold in the cooked rice dumplings and ground cardamom, stirring gently to coat each dumpling evenly without crushing them.
6
Pour the mixture into a small greased 10x10cm tray or dish, spreading it level with the back of a spoon to about 1.5cm thickness.
7
Scatter the chopped pistachio over the top and press lightly so it adheres.
8
Chill for 20 minutes until firm, then cut into 2 even pieces and serve.
