Malida (Pashto 'ماليده'; alternatively spelled as Maleeda, called, Urdu: چُوری, Hindi: चूरी, or ملیدہ in Hyderabadi Urdu) is a traditional sweet dessert popular among Pashtun and Persian households in Afghanistan and Hyderabad Deccan, as well as among people in northern India and Pakistan. It is made from leftover bread (called Dudo by Pashtuns and Parathas or Rotis in desi households) that is crumbled and pounded, then stir fried with ghee, sugar, dried fruits, and nuts. Malida is often given to young children in the winter as ghee is believed to warm the body and prevent colds, and it is also a traditional dish for some Muslims on the last Wednesday of the Islamic month Safar. Malida is a common way to use up extra parathas or rotis.[1]
