Ohm Ali is a traditional Egyptian dessert that is typically served during Ramadan or other special occasions. It is similar to bread pudding and is made by layering crescent rolls with a creamy mixture of milk, nuts, and sugar. The dessert is then baked until golden brown and topped with sweet syrup or fruit. Ohm Ali is rich, creamy, and comforting, making it the perfect dessert to share with family and friends.

3.	Add the ground almonds or walnuts and stir until well combined.
4.	Take the pot off the heat and set it aside.
5.	Unroll the Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls and separate them into triangles.
6.	Place the triangles in a single layer in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
7.	Pour the almond or walnut mixture over the crescent rolls and spread it evenly.
8.	Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the crescent rolls are cooked through.
9.	Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10.	Top with maraschino cherries and serve.
