Umm Ali

Umm Ali .... the name itself is so interesting!
 
An Egyptian version of bread pudding served during special occasions. Legend has it that Umm Ali is named after Sultan Ezz El Din Aybak’s wife, back in the 13th century. She made it for a victory celebration, and distributed it among the people of the land.  Her name stuck to this tasty dish ever since. Hope you all will try this simple dessert for Eid and enjoy with family.
 
Eid Mubarak
