Mutanjan Zarda is a colorful and festive South Asian sweet rice dish. It's also sometimes called Meetha Chawal (sweet rice) or Zarda Mutanjan. Mutanjan means "three colored" in Urdu, and the dish is traditionally made with three different colors of rice: red, yellow, and green. These colors are achieved by using food coloring. Mutanjan Zarda is often served at weddings, parties, and other special occasions.
