SHEER BERENJ | AFGHAN (VEGAN) RICE PUDDING WITH ROSEWATER AND CARDAMOM| EASY AND DELICIOUS (NEW)

I’m super excited to share my vegan creamy Afghan rice pudding demo, sheer birinj, with my three teenage assistants who are all fans of Afghan sheer birinj.

I took my mom’s traditional recipes and made it even more delicious by using oat milk instead of cow’s milk and coconut oil instead of butter. I’ve retained the delicious flavors of a traditional recipe but modernized it with more healthy and hearty ingredients.

I’ve personally moved away from using cow’s milk and instead use alternative sources of dairy. If you want the original version of this recipe, here is the link (http://bit.ly/afghanricepudding) to my traditional Creamy Afghan Rice Pudding.

Rice pudding is so delicious and surprisingly full of nutrients. Countries around the world from Spain to Cambodia have a version of rice pudding. This Afghan sheer birinj recipe is uncomplicated, sweetened with sugar and seasoned simply with ground cardamom and rosewater.

The recipe calls for Calrose rice, a short-grain variety that is widely available. Afghans call it “the fat rice.” It’s shorter than basmati, and a little plump, but not nearly as dense as say, Arborio rice.

Afghans serve rice pudding as a dessert at parties, holidays, wedding or a special treat to visiting guests.
