Origin of the name


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).


Ingredients


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.


Preparation


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.


Interesting facts


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).
