Meethe Chawal or sweet rice is a traditional dish that  comes from South Asia. My grandmother introduced me to this dish when I was around 2-3 years old since then I have been a craver of this dish.Some people prefer to put dried thin coconut slices, half almonds and raisins. I prefer just raisins because it adds for sweetness to the rice. I would Rate 10\10. I would strongly advise you to go to a Pakistani restaurant and try it for yourself.If you do not want to walk to a restaurant I have listed the recipe below.
