1. Blanching the almonds:

     Soak the almonds in a small bowl with just
      enough hot water to cover for 30 seconds. Strain and set aside.

2. Preparing the pudding:

     Mix the milk, sugar, and salt together in a medium pot. Set burner on
     medium-low and bring to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent
     burning.

3. Making the thickening agent:

     Mix the cornstarch and rice with 4 tbsp of warm water. The
     mixture should be smooth and without clamps.

4. Whisk the starch mixture into the pot and continue mixing until the
      mixture thickens.

5. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 30 minutes, stirring
      occasionally.

6. Add the almonds and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

7. Finishing up:

    Remove from the heat and add the almond extract. Pure into a bowl, cover
    and chill for an hour or so before serving. Garnish with ground almonds or
    peanuts before serving, if desired.

I once had malabi in a restaurant and thought it will be had to prepare. but in fact it was quit easy. I would add little more sugar.
