Often with grounded dry fruits and pistachios sprinkled on top.

You can use either canned mango pulp or cubed fresh or frozen mango. If you use fresh

You’ll want to use a ripe, sweet mango. If your mango isn’t ripe enough, it will be too tart, and you’ll have to add more sugar or honey than you would like

Zarda Recipe || Sweet Rice Recipe || How to Make Meetha Chawal with step by step photos and Video

Zarda Rice is the traditional Pakistani/Indian sweet dessert made of sweet and fragrant yellow basmati rice loaded with crunchy nuts, chewy raisins, and khoya. It is an easy dish to enjoy as an everyday treat, but it can be fancied up to impress your guests on any occasion.

Zarda originated from the Mughals. Zarda can be quite hard to cook, but trust it's not as hard as it seems. The use of good-quality ingredients and the right cooking technique helps to make a flavorful and delicious Zarda.

It is traditionally made of fluffy rice cooked with sugar syrup, giving it that eye-catching hue and sweet flavor.

Cardamon, nuts, and dried fruits give it more flavor and texture. A popular variation of Zarda called Muntanjan is cooked with milk instead of water and is served with more yummy mixed-ins like dry fruit, khoya/mawa, colorful Ashrafi, and gulab jamun

Recipe Notes:

Rice: Using good-quality aged basmati rice is essential to make perfect zarda rice. Here I used basmati rice. This is good for making zarda. Sella rice is always soaked for a few hours and then cooked until every grain is fully cooked.

Ghee: Pure ghee is good for zarda rice to make zarda aromatic and flavorful. This is another key to making Zarda delicious. Authentic and traditional zarda uses a generous amount of ghee, which also gives it a glossy look.

Color: There are many colors used in Zard., The most common color is orange, called Zarda color, while some of are use red and green colors. I have already put Mutanjan Zarda in my previous post on the blog. And this time I used orange color, whereas saffron can also be used in zarda for making it aromatic and coloring.

Flavoring: green cardamoms. Cinnamon and cloves are also used in zarda to make the flavor.

Khoya: adds richness to the dish. This ingredient brings flavor and taste to the zard. I strongly recommend do not skip it.

Dry fruits: Using dry fruits in Zarda enhances the taste and texture of Zarda. I used almonds and

Sugar: good quality sugar always is best to make sweetened Meetha Rice. Sugar in zarda should be equal to the rice measurement.

Tutty Fruity: Use colored tutty fruity in Zarda for just garnishing, nothing more than that, if you don’t like it or you don’t have then skip it

Sweets: I added small sizes of gulab jamun and cham cham for garnishing zarda.

White Zarda Rice| Sweet Rice | How to Make Zarda Rice with step-by-step photos and video

White Zarda Rice is a traditional Pakistani sweet dish, which is a must for every occasion. It is easy to make and consists of simple ingredients rather than rich and calorie-dense ingredients. This white zerda is made by boiling rice with sugar flavored with cardamom, raisins, saffron, pistachios, and almonds.

My Latest Sweet Rice Video:

But here I did some variations in zerda, it looks a bit different from traditional orange zerda, Additionally, I added green and red coloring along with homemade khoya and ashrafian that you find in any local shop or store.

If it is hard to find, you can use Tutty Fruity instead of Ashrafi and skip a few ingredients like raisins and saffron. Additionally, you can also garnish it with small gulab jamun and chum, so let's go ahead with the preparation.

Recipe tips:

To prepare zarda rice, it is best to use sella rice instead of basmati rice. When serving, garnish the zarda with small-sized gulab jamun and chum chum sweets, along with khoya and dry fruits. It can be stored in the refrigerator and eaten for 3-4 days.
When using sella rice, ensure that you cook the rice completely (100%). If not fully cooked, the rice will harden after being placed in the sugar syrup. If you want to make orange or yellow zarda, add a pinch of food coloring while boiling the rice.

In a Juicer, the machine puts carrots and apples along with ginger and adds water through the injector until juices come out into the bowl.

If you do not have a Juicer machine, you can use a simple blender jar. Put carrots and apples into the blender jar, and repeat the same procedure, but here you will have to add water, 100 ml or 1/2 cup.

Blend it until well blended, strain it out through a muslin cloth, or use a strainer for separating pulp and juice.
