Sweet Rice With Saffron And Nuts ( Zardah Pulao)
500

The word "zarda" is Persian for yellow, and this yellow rice gets its colour both from saffron as well as food colouring. Fragrant with the aroma of saffron, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom carried through by the buttery ghee, and rich with almonds and pistachios, this is an easy traditional favourite! One of the simplest Indian sweets to experiment with.
