Kashmiri Zarda

Sweet saffron rice — basmati cooked in sugar syrup with Pampore saffron, cardamom, and ghee until each grain is golden-orange and fragrant, then garnished generously with fried dry fruits and edible silver leaf. The sweet closing rice course of the Kashmiri Wazwan, its golden colour derived entirely from the world's most prized saffron grown in the Pampore fields just outside Srinagar.
