Ma’mouniyeh is a ancient and traditional wheat cream pudding from the Middle -East. It is said that it’s named after 9th Century Caliph Ma’moun. Very easy, simple yet delicious to eat recipe. I love trying cuisines from all over the world and desserts of Middle East which I’ve been cooking of late is very interesting, delicious to eat and simple to make. Specially the rice puddings are quite similar to Indian ones. This dessert is best enjoyed during breakfast
