Method
Grind the zgougou, dissolve it in water, then strain to get a concentrated liquid.
Mix the liquid with the starch and sugar and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens like a custard.
Add the orange blossom water at the end.
Pour into glasses and garnish with nuts and jam; it is the famous dessert of the Mawlid (the Prophet’s birthday) in Tunisia.
