Muhallebi/Malabi- Arabic dessert

Muhallebi is an Arabic dessert recipe, famous during Iftar which is healthy too. The preparation is very simple, here I am adding fresh cream to enhance the taste, which can be skipped. This can be given to toddlers as well, if you dont want to use, you can skip rose essence and rose syrup for kids.
