Mahalabia /Muhallabieh - Middle Eastern Milk Pudding | 3 toppings | Flavour Diary

Quick and easy recipes which are made less than 20mins are always have a space in my todo list and one among the list is Mahalabia. Mahalabia is a middle eastern dessert which is very light,rich and creamy. A mild flavour of rose is pleasant and traditionally Mahalabia is generously topped with dry fruits. I have topped it with fresh fruit, fruit puree and traditionally mixed dry fruits.It is often eaten during Ramadan after Iftar or for suhor.
Mahalabia is a milk pudding similar to our Indian kheer with no ghee/butter and is made in no time without any hassle. This needs quite few ingredients.
