8  Cups Whole wheat flour

550 Gram Evaporated dry milk powder (or 250 grams of mavo aka khoya)

1 kg 350 g castor sugar

1 Cup  Milk approx

7 Eggs  beaten

1 Cup  Pistachio

1/2 Cup  Sultanas (Raisins)

2 tsp powdered cardamoms and nutmeg

Rosewater to taste

1 tsp Salt

1 1/4 Kg Ghee approx

Method:

Mix flour, salt, milk and 3-4 tbsp ghee and bind.

Knead and roll into rotlis.

Shallow fry in a little of the measured ghee.

Cool and break into fine pieces, like rough semolina.

Make thin syrup with sugar and a little water.

Cool and add eggs, mavo and broken pieces of fried rotlis.

Add remaining ghee and cook on a low fire, till ghee rises to top.

Remove this ghee if desired. I would!

Cool and add rosewater.

Sprinkle with nuts, sultanas and cardamom and nutmeg mixture, and cherries.

Serve malido warm and garnished with fried almonds/raisins/cashews. Some folks add cherries as well. Enjoy!

The Baj Malido is accompanied with some fruits like Bananas, Apples and Dates. Papri is a unleavened bread that accompanies this.
