'''Zarda''' ({{lang-hi|ज़र्दा}}, {{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|زردہ}}}}, {{Lang-bn|জর্দা}} ) is a traditional boiled sweet rice dish, native to the [[Indian subcontinent]], made with [[saffron]], [[milk]] and [[sugar]], and flavoured with [[cardamom]]s, [[raisins]], [[pistachio]]s or [[almond]]s.<ref>{{cite web | title=Zarda Recipe (Indian Sweet Rice) | website=The Huffington Post | date=17 November 2016 | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anisa/zarda-recipe-indian-sweet_b_13055084.html | access-date=19 January 2017}}</ref><ref name="IAN-2015"/> The name Zarda comes from [[Persian language|Persian]] word 'zard' {{Nastaliq|زرد}} meaning 'yellow',<ref name="IAN-2015"/> hence named since the food coloring added to the rice gives it a yellow color. Zarda is typically served after a meal. In the [[Indian subcontinent]], zarda was and still remains a popular dessert on special occasions such as weddings. It is very similar to [[Sholezard]], an Iranian dessert.

Often in Pakistan, instead of yellow food coloring, multiple food colorings are added so the rice grains are of multiple colors. Additionally, khoya, candied fruits ([[murabba]]) and nuts are an essential part of zarda made at auspicious occasions. There also is a popular use of raisins, and other dried fruits to dish.

Dating back to [[Mughal India]], zarda had a variation with an addition of small fried sweetmeat pieces called 'Mutanjan'. This dish was a favourite of Emperor [[Shahjahan]] and was often made on his request. This rice dish was made for guests at special banquets.

The [[Assyrian people]] have also this dish (with the same name), mostly made while fasting,so without dairy products in it.
