Boil the rice for 10 minutes.
Add the sugar, turmeric, and water, then cook the zerde for 15 minutes.
Divide the dessert into bowls and serve it cold with currants.
Nişastayı az suyla açıp tencereye ekleyin, topaklanmasın diye.
Kaselere paylaştırıp 2 saat soğutun.
Kuş üzümü ve çam fıstığıyla servis edin.
💡 Tip: Keeping the rice a little firm gives zerde distinct grains instead of a mushy texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with currants scattered over the top.
