Recipe Notes
- You can garnish the rice pudding or Mhalbi with pistachios, peanuts, nuts or almonds.
- I only added 1 teaspoon rose water ( personal choice).
- You can substitute rose water with orange blossom water.
- Mhalbi is also made with 7 measuring cups of milk, 1 measuring cup granulated sugar and 1 measuring cup rice flour. I prefer the recipe above as it is lighter.
