How to Make Mohallabia Muhallabia

  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup rice flour with 1/2 cup milk until a smooth, runny paste forms.
  2. In a separate saucepan, bring 4 cups milk to a boil with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Gradually whisk the rice flour mixture into the boiling milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and burning.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon rose water and 2 tablespoons almond powder.
  6. Let the mixture cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Pour the Mohallabia into serving glasses or bowls.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
  9. Garnish generously with whipped cream, coarsely chopped pistachios (1/4 cup), cashew nuts (1/4 cup), slivered almonds (1/4 cup), and pomegranate seeds (1/4 cup) before serving. Drizzle with honey to taste.
