描述
- Meghli, moghli, meghleh, or karawiyah, is a Levantine dessert based on a floured rice pudding and spiced with anise, caraway, and cinnamon.
- The dish is often garnished with dried coconut flakes and various nuts including almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, and pistachios.
- The name 'meghli' means “boiled” in Arabic, referring to the long time (up to an hour) it must be continuously stirred while boiling.
- The dish was traditionally served to celebrate the birth of a male heir, but has now become a dessert to celebrate any newborn.[4] The caraway is thought to assist the new mother in lactating and reduces bloating.
