A warm dessert made with pastry with milk, sugar and raisins, coconut and cinnamon. Someone in Egypt told me that there was a 'nice' story about this. A Sultan took a wife whom he loved very greatly and she made him promise that he would never marry another. Of course, he did, some time later. Here the story got a little confused. The son of the first wife, who was called Ali, murdered the second wife, after the Sultan had died, and his mother (Umm Ali or 'Mother of Ali') made this sweet and handed it out to all the people, so great was her joy. Not such a nice story.
