Zarda Chawal is a classic Pakistani dish that can be made in just a few simple steps! To make it, start by boiling 1 cup of long-grain basmati rice in 4 cups of water. Once the rice is cooked, drain off the excess water and add in 1 teaspoon of salt. Then, heat up 4 tablespoons of ghee or oil in a large pan and add in 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, add in 1 cup of mixed nuts and 1 cup of mixed dried fruit. Next, add in the cooked rice and mix everything together. Finally, season to taste with salt, black pepper, and garam masala. Serve the zarda chawal warm, and enjoy!
