In a large microwavable bowl, add rice and water and cook on full power for 10 minutes till rice is cooked.
Drain excess water and pour in the milk and sugar. Stir well.
Pop it back in the microwave and cook for a total of 8 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes.
This helps dissolve the sugar better and makes sure the milk doesn't spill over.
Add cardamom powder and mix well.
Garnish with saffron strands and serve
