Ingredients
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 Cup Blanched almonds slivered
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.

You have mentioned 16 tbs for 8 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup milk , pistachios and almonds each and 1/2 cup in your recipe for sultanas.
So how can 16 tbs be for 1cup 1/2 cup and 81/2 cups.?
Thank Ketty. It was confusing to have the “tbs” measures in this Malido recipe. I have removed them. Usually when I make Malido, I go by eyesight and taste adding ingredients approx.
Another thing if anyone is making Malido for a prayer ceremony like Jashan, pls do not add any water or rosewater. Only milk.

There is no mavo in ingredients but while cooking you have mentioned, so is it evaporated milk you mean.
Hi Mahrukh,
Thanks so much for pointing this out. I have added the mavo to the recipe.
Yes, I had not listed mavo but you can use 250 grams of fresh mavo instead of evaporated milk.
I prefer dry evaporated milk powder so the malido does not spoil so eeasily. Mavo tends to spoil if left outside for more than 5 hours.
Best wishes and do share a picture and note when you make it.
