Malabi Recipe

The origin of this dessert is Turkish, but it's much more popular in Israel than in its homeland. On the streets one can find inferior versions of Mahalibiya, but this version was the one served at the Mossad restaurant in Tel-Aviv (no longer exists), and is considered the best and most authentic one.






INGREDIENTS:

• 1 litter milk (or 1 litter water or 50%/50%)
• 1/2 cup of sugar (or less or none depends on your taste)
• 5 full tablespoons of corn flower
• 1 tablespoon of rose water (or more, if you want but it will be very sweet)

you can also add on top of the malabi ::

• Crushed almonds or peanuts
• Raspberry syrup
• A few drops of rose water
• Crushed pistachios
• Coconut bits

PREPARATION:

• Boil the milk (or 1 litter water or 50%/50%).
• Mix well the corn flower with the 1/2 cup of water and pour it to the boiling milk as you stir.
• Cook for a minute more and Add the rose water.
• Stir a bit, and you're done.
• Pour the liquid to 6 cups. Let the cups cool in the fridge for at least an hour or more (until it's 100% cold).
• Just before you serve add the thing you want on top and enjoy your dish.

Bon Appétit!
