A Lebanese rice pudding spiced with cinnamon and caraway, Meghli is a delicious celebratory dessert served after the birth of a new baby and during Christmas.
Begin by combining all the dry ingredients in a medium-sized deep pot. Add the water (cold or room temperature) and whisk thoroughly.
Place the pot on the stove on medium-high heat and let come to a boil, about 5 minutes. Make sure to whisk every now and then so the rice flour does not clump.
Once the pudding has started to boil, lower the heat to low and whisk consistently for an additional 15-20 minutes until the pudding has thickened to the perfect consistency.
Pour the hot pudding into 4 individual bowls.
Top with about 1 teaspoon each of every type of nut and topping you choose to decorate with.
Set aside to thicken and cool.Let refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
