Introduction:
Mutanjan is a royal South Asian dessert rice that bursts with flavors of khoya, sugar, ghee, colorful candied fruits, and rich dry fruits. Known for its unique juicy and gooey texture, it’s not just a dessert but a celebration on its own.

History & Origin:
Mutanjan traces its roots back to the Mughal era, when royal chefs experimented with sweet rice dishes for kings and nobles. It is believed to be a descendant of Zarda (sweet saffron rice) but made richer with khoya, nuts, coconut, rose water, and vibrant colors.

Today, it remains a timeless dish that symbolizes hospitality and festivity in South Asian culture.
