Instructions
Step 1
In a 4-quart heavy-bottomed pot set over high heat, bring 2 1⁄2 cups milk, coconut milk, rice and salt to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to low; add carrot and simmer, stirring often and slowly adding up to 1 cup of remaining milk, until rice is tender, 20-25 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger in a small bowl. Once rice is cooked, remove from heat and stir in brown sugar mixture and raisins. Transfer pudding to a serving bowl, and allow to cool slightly. Pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm or room temperature, topped with additional cinnamon to taste.
