ABOUT Chocolate risotto with toasted almonds RECIPE

Risotto , the classic Italian rice dish (also the apparent death wish of all televised food competitions) in a delcious chocolatey avatar! Traditionally , risotto is made with arborio rice cooked in a broth to a creamy consistency. This dessert version is made with good ol' basmati rice , milk and dark chocolate. It is creamy and delicious, with the taste and texture somewhere between a warm chocolate pudding and a rice kheer ! The toasted almonds add a crunch to this yum bowlful!

1/4 cup basmati rice
