Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.

Combine rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

In a separate pot, heat milk and sugar over low heat until sugar dissolves.

Add cooked rice to the milk mixture; stir to combine.

Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; mix well.

Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.

In a small bowl, beat the egg; temper it by adding a bit of the warm rice mixture to the egg, then stir back into the pot.

Add raisins, butter, and cardamom; stir until well combined.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly; the pudding will thicken as it cools.

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with almonds and lemon zest.
