UMM ALI RECIPE / ARABIC DESSERT UMM ALI RECIPE



Umm ali is a arabic dessert made with puff pastry or croissants, milk, cream and lots of Dry fruits. It is similar to bread pudding but it is pure veg. It tastes really yummy when it is hot. I used my homemade puff pastry sheets in this recipe. If you find readymade croissants in your place then you can easily make them. The last option is bread. If you can't find puff pastry or croissants you can use bread slices as well.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.

milk : 500 ml
Chopped nuts : 3/4 cup (I used pistachios, cashew nuts and almonds)

Sugar : 1/2 cup or as per your taste
Cardamom powder or cinnamon powder : 1 tea spoon
fresh cream : 250 ml (I used amul fresh cream)
desiccated coconut : 1/2 cup (click here for recipe)
