Zarda is a traditional sweet dish/ dessert prepared on the occasion of muslim weddings and special festivals and occasions... there are 2 kinds of zarda that is prepared... one is yellow coloured or saffron one called peela zarda and the other one is white one or sada zarda .. this is my favourite ... so sharing this recipe which i made on the occasion of urs-e-khwaja Garib Nawaz celebrated in Ajmer shariff.
