Saudi Areeka Recipe | Authentic Middle Eastern Dessert

Saudi Areeka a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made with Malabar Paratha, dates, cream, honey, ghee, evaporated milk, and nuts. This rich, creamy, and delicious Arabic dessert is easy to make at home and perfect for dessert lovers. In this recipe, I have used Malabar Paratha as a substitute for traditional Arabic Khabuz, as it wasn’t available. The result is soft, creamy, and incredibly delicious. Ingredients: Malabar Paratha Dates Ghee Evaporated Milk Cheddar Cheese Sterilized Cream Condensed milk Mozzarella Cheese (Optional) Almond cashews pistachios and akhrot mixed Nuts Sesame Seeds Nigella seeds Honey Method 1. Warm the paratha or khubz, tear it into small pieces, and coarsely grind it. 2. Grind the dates until smooth. 3. Heat ghee in a pan. Add the coarsely ground paratha and lightly fry over medium-low heat until lightly golden and fragrant. 4. In another pan, heat a little ghee and add the evaporated milk. Cook for 1–2 minutes. 5. Spread a layer of the fried paratha and date mixture over the evaporated milk. 6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. 7. Add a layer of thick cream. 8. Add a second layer of the paratha and date mixture. 9. Drizzle with condensed milk. 10. Add another layer of thick cream. 11. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by shredded cheddar cheese. 12. In a separate pan, fry the almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios in a little ghee until lightly golden. 13. Garnish with the fried nuts, sesame seeds, nigella seeds, honey, and serve warm.
