Shole Zard - Persian Saffron Rice Pudding

Shole Zard is an aromatic Persian Saffron Rice Pudding. The floral fragrance of saffron and rose water, combined with the warmth of cinnamon and cardamom make this dessert a treat for all senses. Shole Zard is made with water instead of milk. That makes it much lighter than the regular rice pudding. It does not lack in flavour though! On the contrary - It’s full of classic Persian flavours: Saffron, rose, cinnamon and cardamom, topped with pistachios.
