Easy recipie?

The easiest one would be to boil the rice…

Take a bowl 3/4th full of boiled rice. Add milk and sugar and enjoy :cb:

Re: zarda

people a little help here please---

im making 1 1/2 cups of rice for zarda right now... and the last few times it came out a bit soggy... the recipe says to strain the water when its half cooked.... how many mins do you all think that would take given its cooking on a medium-high flame?

Re: zarda

Lol... Riya, you just have to watch them like 3-4 mins after adding them to the boiling water, check and see...

ok here is the sweet rice recipe,the way i cook it,and whoever eats it,likes it too much.my family and freinds r crazy for my zarda.so here it is;
ok bring to boil 2 cups of washed rice,and leave them just a little bit uncooked,drain them in a strainer.in the same container(in what you boiled the rice)put some oil, couple of crushed ilaichi and saute them, then put 4 cups of suger,1/2 cup of milk and let them mix toghether,when u feel like its ready,put boiled rice in there,let the rice mix w/suger and other stuff,add some almond,rasins and other dry nuts.when rice are ready put them on steam,i put them in oven for 10 [EMAIL="minuits@350"]minuits@350 degree for steam.then add food colors,i usually put 3 colors,like yellow,red and green.you shoud b cautious about the colors.just little drops mix w/water(if u r using liqiud food colors)and if u r usig powder ones just make right colors,not too dark.now mix them w/spatula.
ok i hope u will make it like that,if u feel like its hard,just come to me i will cook it for u.

Alas Zarda has been abondoned at most marriges/valimas here in Karachi. You can only find it on soyem and chaleswas these days.

Good old days of my childhood in 70s! There was no wedding without zarda then.
