Zarda (food)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 166: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Zarda (Hindi: ज़र्दा, Urdu: زردہ) is a traditional South Asian sweet dish, made by boiling rice with (orange) food coloring, milk and sugar, and flavoured with cardamoms, raisins, saffron, pistachios or almonds. The name Zarda comes from Persian and Urdu 'zard' meaning 'yellow', hence named since the food coloring added to the rice gives it a yellow color. Zarda is typically served after a meal. In Pakistan and India, zarda was and still remains a popular dessert on weddings.
A slightly different version is also made in Pakistan and called 'Mutanjan'. Instead of yellow food coloring, multiple food colorings are added so the rice grains are of multiple colors. Additionally, candied fruits (murabba) and nuts are an essential part of Mutanjan.
