Sholeh Zard is a dish made from rice, sugar, saffron, rose water, water, and oil. To prepare it, they first boil soaked rice in a pot of water, and as soon as it becomes soft, they add sugar syrup along with ground saffron. After the yolk is set, they add cardamom, rose water, and almond nuts to it. Then they do the topping with cinnamon, almond slices, pistachio slices, and coconut powder. Sometimes grape syrup or honey is used instead of sugar.
