This Ramadan, add traditional Iftar dishes from the Middle-East to your dining repertoire, starting with this creamy dessert, Muhallebi. Also called Mahalabia, it is a popular, traditional Middle Eastern milk pudding often served as a chilled, light dessert. It is characterised by its smooth, creamy texture and is typically thickened with cornstarch (for a smoother finish) or rice flour (for a more textured effect). It may be perfumed with rose water, if available. Or you can also use ground cardamom, like in this recipe. It is usually topped with chopped pistachios and, in some cases, dried rose petals.
