Assalamualaikum ! 

Making this brings my childhood memories. My mama used to make this dessert during Ramadhan. Actually you can get this popular break-fast dish from the street vendor but we always prefer the homemade ones.

After having some sips of warm sweet tea, this is definately a luscious break-fast dish.
