Waiting for a cook

Mhalbi

Algeria

What we know so far

Mhalbi is the chilled rice-flour cream of Algeria: milk thickened with finely ground rice and sugar, scented with orange-blossom water, poured into small bowls and set in the fridge, then decorated with criss-cross lines of cinnamon. It is the dessert that closes a Ramadan evening, served with small brioches (chrik) and tea, and it appears at the end of weddings and engagement parties. Constantine claims the finest version, but the whole country makes it.
