Kamby arro is a popular dessert in Paraguay. It is a thick cream produced from cooking rice and cow's milk according to a precise process.
The Spanish words directly relate to the two ingredients that make the dish, milk (leche) and rice (arroz).
In Guaraní, “kamby arro” in the same way, directly translates to the ingredients in the dish "kamby" (milk) and "arro" (rice).
There are many different ways to prepare kamby arró, thus the ingredients may vary according to each version.
The most traditional recipes use cow’s milk, water, rice, sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon.
The rice is first washed and poured into a pot with milk, sugar, water and lemon peel.
The mixture is then boiled slowly until it acquires a thick texture while being mixed occasionally to avoid any rice sticking to the cooking appliance.
When the mixture becomes creamy, it is served in little containers. Cinnamon powder is then dusted on the cream. The kamby arró is then served cold.
There is one variant in the preparation of the kamby arró in which vanilla is added to the ingredients mentioned above, thus creating a different flavor.
In the Paraguayan country-side the kamby arró is considered nutritious and great para la cabeza (special to improve the intelligence) because of the use of the cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum or Cinnamomum verum, a tree of perennial leaves of about 10 or 15 meters tall, originally from Sri Lanka and from which its internal cortex is used as spice, extracted by peeling and rubbing its branches. It is used indistinctly in branches or in powder).
Cooking bananas are banana cultivars in the genus Musa whose fruits are generally used in cooking. They may be eaten ripe or unripe and are generally starchy. Many cooking bananas are referred to as plantains or green bananas. In botanical usage, the term "plantain" is used only for true plantains, while other starchy cultivars used for cooking are called "cooking bananas". True plantains are cultivars belonging to the AAB Group, while cooking bananas are any cultivars belonging to AAB, AAA, ABB, or BBB groups. The currently accepted scientific name for all such cultivars in these groups is Musa × paradisiaca. Fe'i bananas from the Pacific Islands are often eaten roasted or boiled, and are thus informally referred to as "mountain plantains," but they do not belong to any of the species from which all modern banana cultivars are descended.
