Persian Rice Pudding (Sheer Berenj) image

This is my favorite rice pudding. It is nice and creamy but not too heavy. The Persian version of rice pudding is very simplistic, yet beautiful in flavor masha Allah. Sheer Berenj on its own is simply made with rice, water, milk and rosewater. I love it because it is not too sweet you add a sweet topping such as a good honey or a sweet preserve (jam).

This rice pudding was amazing! It was creamy, flavorful, and the pistachios and almonds added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

This rice pudding was a bit too runny for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a little longer next time.

I'm not a fan of rose water, so I omitted it from the recipe. The rice pudding was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the rose water.

This rice pudding was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This was so easy to make and turned out perfect. I used basmati rice and it cooked up beautifully. The pudding was creamy and flavorful, and the pistachios and almonds added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
