Malida also known as Maleeda is a traditional Afghan Central Asian sweet dish made by initially creating a dough out of wheat flour semolina butter and milk. The dough is then baked on a round flat pan once baked you break apart the cookie into crumbs. Afghan women sit together and grind the dough pieces in the palms of their hands while saying a prayer to bless the sweet dessert as it will become a Nazr (food that is blessed by being prayed upon).
