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.
