Afghan Sticky Rice, known as "Sheer Khurma" or "Shir Berinj," depending on preparation, is a classic dish from Afghanistan with roots in Central and South Asian cuisine. This fragrant dish typically incorporates basmati rice, sugar, milk, and a touch of cardamom for flavor, often garnished with nuts like pistachios or almonds and sometimes dried fruits like raisins. Its sticky texture and sweet taste make it a popular dessert during celebrations and special occasions. Nutritionally, Afghan Sticky Rice is rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy, while milk and nuts contribute protein and healthy fats. However, the added sugar makes it calorie-dense, so moderation is key for maintaining a balanced diet. Variations can reduce sugar or use alternative sweeteners for a more health-conscious version while preserving its unique flavors and cultural significance.
