Sholeh Zard شوله زرد (Persian Saffron Rice Pudding) is a traditional Iranian dessert. It is a long simmered porridge of rice, saffron and rose water with hints of cinnamon, rose water and saffron. The word sholleh is Persian for porridge (شوله). The signature yellow color of this dish (Zard زرد) comes from saffron water. Sholleh Zard is often made on the occasion of remembrance or emphasizing a wish. A large batch of Sholeh Zard is made and portions are distributed into the community. Sholeh Zard is often given to the needy and homeless but many times it is also sent to the neighbors, friends and family.
In recent years, Sholeh Zard has moved from a dish served strictly for religious and remembrance occasions to a commonly used dessert for parties and gatherings. A common part of Sholeh Zard tradition is the often artful decorations made on the surface. For religious occasions these decorations are often scribed with the names of the SHiite saints and the prophet or with scripture from the Quran!
You can serve Sholeh Zard hot and right after cooking but it is commonly served cold or room temp, since you have to let it cool in order to decorate it.
