Zarda

Zarda is a traditional sweet rice dish native to the Indian subcontinent. It is made with basmati rice, milk, sugar, saffron, cardamom, raisins, and pistachios or almonds. The rice is cooked until it is soft and fluffy, and the milk and sugar are added to create a sweet syrup. The saffron is added to give the dish its characteristic yellow color. The cardamom, raisins, and nuts are added for flavor and texture.

Zarda is typically served on special occasions such as weddings, Eid, and Diwali. It is also a popular dessert in Pakistan and India.
