Komol Saul with Fruits

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the Komol Saul

   • Place the Komol Saul in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it gently under cool running water for 30 seconds to remove any dust.
   • Transfer the rinsed rice to a large bowl. Pour 3 cups of warm (not hot) water over it, ensuring all the grains are fully submerged.
   • Let the rice soak for 10-15 minutes. The grains will absorb water and become soft and tender.
   • After soaking, carefully drain all excess water using the sieve. Gently shake to remove as much water as possible.
2. 2

   Prepare the Base Mixture

   • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the whisked curd and the jaggery powder.
   • Stir well until the jaggery is mostly dissolved into the curd, creating a smooth, sweet mixture.
   • Add the soaked and drained Komol Saul to the curd mixture. Gently fold everything together until the rice is evenly coated. Avoid overmixing to prevent the soft grains from breaking.

   Assemble and Serve

   • Divide the Komol Saul mixture equally among four serving bowls.
   • Generously top each bowl with the sliced bananas, diced mangoes, and a sprinkle of vibrant pomegranate arils.
   • Garnish with chopped almonds for a delightful crunch.
   • If using, drizzle a tablespoon of fresh cream over each bowl for added richness.
   • Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect texture and fresh flavors.
