Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup rice powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 tablespoon caraway powder
  • 1 teaspoon anise powder
  • 1 cup almonds peeled and halved

Method
 

Instructions:
    Prepare the Mixture:
    1. Combine the rice powder, sugar, cinnamon powder, caraway powder, and anise powder in a large pot.
    2. Add 8 cups of water to the pot and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
    Cooking:
    1. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and prevent clumping.
    2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. The consistency should resemble that of rice pudding.
    3. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, ensuring it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Stirring is essential to achieve a smooth texture.
    Serve:
    1. Please remove it from the heat once the Meghli has reached the desired consistency. Pour the mixture into small cups or serving bowls.
    2. Allow the Meghli to cool to room temperature, then transfer the cups to the refrigerator to chill for at least a few hours or until set.
    Garnish:
    1. Before serving, garnish each serving of Meghli with shredded coconut, soaked and drained walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts.
