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).

I would not recommend this recipe. The rice pudding was not creamy at all and it tasted like it was burnt.

This rice pudding is okay, but I've definitely had better. It's a bit bland and the texture is a bit too thick.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice pudding turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

This rice pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of rice pudding, but this recipe changed my mind. The pudding is incredibly flavorful and has a wonderful texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

This Persian rice pudding is a delight! The texture is creamy and smooth, and the flavor is perfectly balanced between sweet and nutty. I especially love the addition of rose water and cardamom, which give it a unique and exotic flavor.
